Travels in an Old Tongue: Touring the World Speaking Welsh

By (author) Pamela Petro

| on special |

normal price: R 260.95

Price: R 234.95

| book description |

Studying in Lampeter, Dyfed and learning Welsh, Pamela Petro found it infuriating that whenever she stumbled with her Welsh, the locals would always revert to English. She decided to go where English was not an option - all kinds of unlikely places with long-standing Welsh-speaking communities. She visited the Hong Kong Men's Choir, all Chinaman who sing in Welsh; the Japanese bardic ""eisteddfod"" in Tokyo; the Welsh golfers of Oslo; the diners of the Paris Welsh society; and Patagonia.
