Wild Wales Its People, Language and Scenery is a captivating travelogue by the English Victorian gentleman writer George Borrow (1803–1881), first published in 1862 and now regarded as a cherished classic on Wales and its rich heritage. This enchanting book chronicles Borrows fascinating journey as he explores Wales on foot, following a family holiday in Llangollen in 1854. While contemporary critics may have dismissed its whimsical charm, readers quickly embraced it not only for its travel insights but also for Borrows lively portrayal of Waless literary, social, and geographical tapestry. Through his encounters with various itinerants—mostly native Welsh peasants—Borrows engaging personality shines through. His keen ear for dialogue evokes comparisons to literary greats like Dickens and Trollope, with his humor and wisdom weaving seamlessly throughout the narrative. An eccentric, larger-than-life, jovial man, Borrow delights in showcasing his self-taught Welsh, leaving locals amazed by his linguistic flair and unique pronunciation. He passionately shares his love for Welsh culture, especially its Bardic traditions, often reciting verses as he traverses the landscape. As he ventures into South Wales, the reader is introduced to the stark realities of modern industrialism, depicted through vivid imagery of coal mines and iron foundries. Today, Wild Wales is cherished for its memorable nineteenth-century landscapes and Borrow’s unforgettable cast of characters. (SUMMARY BY STEVE GOUGH BASED ON WIKIPEDIA)
