内容説明
A year in pursuit of Welshness. Jasper Rees has always wanted to be Welsh. But despite Welsh grandparents (and a Welsh surname) he is an Englishman: by birth, upbringing and temperament. In this singular, hilarious love letter to a glorious country so often misunderstood, Rees sets out to achieve his goal of becoming a Welshman by learning to sing, play work, worship, think - and above all, speak - like one. On the way he meets monks tenors and politicians, and tries his hand at rugby and lambing - all the while weaving together his personal story with Wales's rich history. Culminating in a nail-biting biting test of Rees' Welsh-speaking skill at the National Eisteddfod, this exuberan journey of self-discovery celebrates the importance of national identity, and the joy of belonging.

Fun and interesting read for anyone interested in Wales, Welshness, or who is learning Welsh!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The author's quest to reclaim his Welsh roots are both hilarious and very interesting. While I couldn't work up any real sympathy for the distance he had to go to get to Wales, (sorry, Mr. Rees, I am in Oregon, USA, and would be delighted if I could get to Wales in a two-hour drive! :) ), it was great fun to join vicariously in his sojourn into Welshness. The account of his joys and frustrations in learning Welsh are worth the price of the book alone, and will make inspiring reading for anyone trying to learn Welsh as a second or third language. Anyone interested in Wales, anyone of Welsh descent, or anyone trying to tackle the language will enjoy reading Mr. Rees' humorous and lively account -- this book is one I will definitely reread!
