| Summary | "A Book of North Wales" by S. Baring-Gould is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work serves as an introduction to North Wales, aiming to deepen the understanding of the region's rich history for visitors and tourists. Unlike traditional travel guides, it provides insights into the region's historical context rather than practical travel advice. The opening of the book presents a detailed examination of the Welsh people, outlining their characteristics, ancestral roots, and historical migrations. Baring-Gould explores the early Iberian inhabitants, the Celtic tribes, and the subsequent impact of invasions by the Romans and later Anglo-Saxons. The narrative discusses how Wales has been shaped by its complex history of invasions and settlements, highlighting the enduring influence of Celtic culture while also reflecting on the consequences of tribal divisions and conflicts. This portion establishes a foundation for understanding the historical tapestry of North Wales that will be further explored in subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
