Peter Daniels - New Book.

We were delighted to hear from our member Peter Daniels about his new book " In Search of Welshness" which he sub-titles "Recollections and Reflections of London Welsh Exiles" Peter will tell us more about how he came to write this book in a forthcoming Newsletter article but, in his own words, it " takes a humorous look" at the Welsh character but also makes a serious point about how challenging it is in an English-dominated media world for the Welsh to preserve their separate identity. Peter checked his own attitudes and experience by interviewing other "exiles" so his work is based on some serious research. If you are interested to know more about Peter's book please go to his publisher's website at:

www.ylolfa.com   

Meanwhile we send our congratulations to him for his interesting work.
