Pre-Publication Book Reviews
I am extremely grateful for the kind feedback and book reviews I have received from the following people. They had early site of the manuscript, prior to publication
Huw Powell - Head Teacher at Mary Immaculate High School
“This is a fascinating journey into the history and folklore of the vale of Glamorgan and Bridgend. From the history of its towns and villages through interesting ghost stories and the battles and events that seem shrouded in the mists of time. It illuminates a past that helps us understand our present. I would recommend it to anyone interested in this fascinating part of Wales”
Jane Hutt - Member of the Welsh Senedd for the Vale of Glamorgan
"Graham Loveluck-Edwards has produced an entertaining account of people and places in the Vale of Glamorgan producing an interesting book which helps locate ‘place’ for young people who are living and learning about legend and folklore in their communities."
The Revd Colonel Gavin Douglas (retired) OBE
"This is a fascinating collection of facts and natural and local history and folklore. I much enjoyed reading it. There is clearly a lot of research and scholarship here.
I was fascinated by the recurring Anglo/Norman colonisation. The cultural tension between the folk of Caerdydd and the valleys reminds me of the tension and cultural and linguistic difference between Highlanders and Lowlanders
This is an excellent read."
