Wales is a small country full of surprises, and this little book is full of fascinating facts that prove, once and for all, that Wales isn't a nation of coal-mines and male voice choirs. The Welsh countryside changes with every mile. Deep valleys lead to long beaches, green hills rise into rocky mountains. This diversity also defines the personality of the country, as will be discovered from this book. The Little Book of Wales contains around 100 facts and figures - some humorous and light-hearted, others thought-provoking and downright unbelievable - to reveal the real Wales. To find out where to find the smallest town, smallest railway and smallest house in Britain or the village with the longest name in the world, who was Wales' own Robin Hood, what happened at the last invasion of Britain, why a small Welsh village becomes so popular around Christmas time, where Stonehenge came from, where the Holy Grail was said to have been kept or where to beware of the black adder get a copy of The Little Book of Wales.
