Treuliodd Peter Finch y cyfnod clo cyntaf yn 2020 yn cerdded ar hyd cyrion dinas Caerdydd. Roedd e'n meddwl ei fod yn adnabod y ddinas ond datguddiodd ei deithiau lawer o ryfeddodau am lefydd a hanes y brifddinas. Dyma gyfrol sy'n tynnu ar y teithiau hynny ac ar hanes personol yr awdur, gan archwilio nodweddion ffiniau.
