Called the "language of heaven," Welsh is beautiful to speak, fascinating to learn and enchanting to hear. It's a musical language, liltingly poetic, and has long been the language of the hearth. But it is also the language of school, office and government, and is equally at home in TV, film and pop culture. This book is an informed and entertaining glance at the origins and history of the most vibrant of the Celtic languages.
