I bought this in Betws Y Coed in the tourist office before I started learning Welsh, must have been 1999. George Borrow must have been a remarkable man. I enjoyed it thorougly, and I found his attitude to the Welsh and their language endearing. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 184702906X, Paperback)

I will not be hushed, said the woman, speaking English. "The man is a good man, and he will do us no harm. We are tinkers, sir; but we do many things besides tinkering, many sinful things, especially in Wales, whither we are soon going again. Oh, I want to be eased of some of my sins before I go into Wales again, and so do you, Tourlough, for you know how you are sometimes haunted by devils at night in those dreary Welsh hills.
