Riassunto

Read all about it! Wales was wicked. It's official! We all know that history can be wickedly dull - especially when teachers go on and on...and on...and on! But did you know that in the days of the troublesome Tudors and the sleazy Stuarts people were boiled alive in oil and several husbands tried to sell their wives at livestock fairs? Learn more about the mad murders, scandalous schools and grisly games of the early moderns. Marvel at their pugnacious piracy, royal wrangles and laughable laws...

L'autore:

Born in Llan-non, Ceredigion, Catrin Stevens was educated at Ardwyn Grammar School and Bangor University. Having worked as a Welsh and History teacher, Catrin was also head of the History and Welsh History department at Trinity College, Carmarthen. Her books about Welsh courting customs derive from Catrin’s research into old Welsh customs at St Fagan’s National History Museum. Catrin now works as a freelance writer and her main interest is interpreting history for readers of all ages. Amongst her books for children is Catrin’s original Welsh series, Hanes Atgas, which she has also adapted into English the Wicked Wales. These books tell the story of the people of Wales in a fun and appealing way and are extremely popular with younger readers. Catrin is also the author of three of the titles in the A Wyddoch Chi ? series
