Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

Everything from the witch of Wenvoe who turned a Cadoxton man into a werewolf, or the Gwrach-Y-Rhybin who terrified visitors to the castles at St Donats, Cardiff, Kenfig and Beaupre and many more. It also looks at scandals which rocked our counties in their day. The imposter of St Donats and how the castle passed out of the hands of the Stradlings in dubious circumstances, how and why the Tubervilles made themselves seem more ‘Welsh’ and of course, the usual crop of notorious local outlaws, their exploits, and the fate which befell them.
