Flintshire, the northern gateway to Wales, is a county rich in heritage.
It is home to ancient artefacts, medieval buildings and country houses,
and has had many fascinating residents such as the grand old man of
politics, W.E. Gladstone, and the famous naturalist and writer, Thomas
Pennant. As with much of Wales, Flintshire is also a place of myth and
legends, from missing monks to maids in wells. This wonderful compendium
of curious anecdotes and curiosities relates tales from the county's
rich history. Beautifully illustrated, it is great for dipping into, but
can equally be enjoyed from cover to cover.
