Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Flame-Bearers of Welsh History: Being the Outline of the Story of ´the Sons of Cunedda´ Owen Rhoscomyl does not require to be introduced to the Welsh people: he is already known to them, and, what is more, he knows them. His own life of adventure and hardship abroad may be relied upon also to enable him to attract and retain the attention of the more youthful of his readers; for it is needless to say that the history with which he deals is largely the story of wars and devastation. He knows from experience what war and its horrors mean, and he may be trusted to give living pictures of the events about which he writes, not mere patches of paint. I have read some specimens of his work, and I could not resist the spell of the author´s enthusiasm and freshness. He lives and moves in the scenes he describes, he visits and revisits the sites, he studies the ground, and he draws his own conclusions with the certainty of one whose eyes have been tramed by the mother of invention in the school of experience. He is, moreover, an earnest and daring seeker after the truth in history, and, among other things, he has lately been devoting himself to the study of Welsh genealogies with a view to making them subservient to his narrative.
