I enjoyed the book, mainly because we visit many of the places he writes about quite regularly.

Of the two books I prefer The Autumn Road to the Isles. I have read it several times and often wondered if the trip could be repeated. I concluded that it could not, best not to try.

I found myself in Coch y Bonddu book shop last week and grabbed a copy of this book. It's wonderfully poetic and the drawings are typical BB - beautiful. I'm really enjoying it. Thanks for the heads-up Firebird
