About the Book

This is a personal, wacky guide to Wales but among the fun and satire there are nuggets of useful information about major events, eating and drinking, entertainment, and of course where to go. This gives you the low-down on Welsh towns and cities - stuff they don't tell you in the official guides - and there's even a section on Welsh magical moments!

About the Author :
Colin Palfrey was born and brought up in Cardiff and still lives only a few miles from the city centre. He is a published poet and author of 'The Scottish Trip' and 'Cardiff Soul'. He has written and performed satirical political comedy and is a former local councillor and Parliamentary candidate.

Review :
I cannot remember laughing so much, and that was just reading the introduction to this great little book. Wacky Wales by Colin Palfrey is the alternative guide to Wales, where nothing is sacred, and nothing spared from his wickedly hilarious overview of the principality. Nothing and no one it seems escapes his brilliant narrative; the observation, wit and humour are served up in equal measure, bringing first a smile and then pure laughter of enjoyment. Under separate headings in the chapter Where to Go, the major places to visit are grouped under north, mid, west and south Wales where, for example, such gems of effortless genius can be found as Gowers appeal is strengthened by having just passed through Swansea, or, when referring to a small museum in Pontypool, Palfrey recommends that you allow about ten minutes for a good look around. I have never enjoyed a guide book as much. I revelled in the humour that packs every page; and yet, undeniably, a strong sense of national pride can be detected throughout. A word of caution: resist the temptation to read all ninety-five pages in one sitting. A step too far, unless one is blessed with stamina and an iron rib cage. The book also contains, amidst the humour, much useful information about Wales, but be assured that nothing escapes the authors wit and enviable sense of humour. This is a must-have book I have yet to come across a guide to Wales to rival it.
