My latest book, Grave Tales from Wales, is a sequel to the popular title Stories in Welsh Stone and follows a similar pattern. It was published by Cambria Books in June 2021.
Inside you will find thirty stories, originally published in my column in Welsh Country Magazine over a number of years. Each section tells the story beneath a Welsh gravestone. Some might be familiar to you but many will not.
The gravestones have been carefully selected, with no more than one for each location, which ensures a spread across the whole of the Principality. The stories are arranged alphabetically by location. So the book begins with a terrible double murder in Bassaleg and ends in Wrexham, with the story of Elihu Yale, after whom the American university is named. In between there are stories of shocking murders, tragic accidents and amazing achievements.
It is a paperback book with 188 pages divided into 30 chapters. Fully illustrated in colour throughout.
