This review is from: Boadicea and Her Sisters: Women of Wales (Paperback)
As one VERY interested in Welsh lore I was more than excited to read this book. There were a few times when I found myself disputing versions of tales, but all in all this wasn't a bad read at all. My main complaint was with the book's binding - I always had the feeling if I'd opened the book another 1/2 inch I'd break the binding completely! I'd still be interested in reading more - I suppose that'd be my last complaint...that it was too darn short!

publisher's comments,
By A Customer
This review is from: Boadicea and Her Sisters: Women of Wales (Paperback)
As the publishers of this book, we're thrilled to see Shonna Rhein's review. We thought readers might be happy to know we've recently had this book commercially printed with a MUCH more enduring, user-friendly binding. We continue to wrap the book in the same hand-crafted dust-jacket, so it's still a unique gift as well. Thanks again, Shonna! -Rhwymbooks
