TheBookPeople
A year in pursuit of Welshness. Jasper Rees has always wanted to be Welsh. But despite Welsh grandparents (and a Welsh surname) he is an Englishman: by birth, upbringing and temperament. In this singular, hilarious love letter to a glorious country so often misunderstood, Rees sets out to achieve his goal of becoming a Welshman by learning to sing, play work, worship, think - and above all, speak - like one. On the way he meets monks tenors and politicians, and tries his hand at rugby and lambing - all the while weaving together his personal story with Wales's rich history. Culminating in a nail-biting biting test of Rees' Welsh-speaking skill at the National Eisteddfod, this exuberan journey of self-discovery celebrates the importance of national identity, and the joy of belonging.
