'Six riveting true stories rescued and retold by an accomplished local author.'
Thomas Lloyd O.B.E., author The Lost Houses of Wales.

'These are tales worth telling and really well told.'
Dr R. Brinley Jones C.B.E., President, National Library of Wales

Secluded graves, broken promises, doctors with supernatural powers, fleeing outlaws, the miseries of the workhouse and the violence of the mob... This is usually the stuff of sensational fiction.

But this collection of six tales, narrated by much-respected Welsh author, Bethan Phillips, is not a work of fiction. These are real events, featuring real people who were driven to desperate measures in desperate times. They were historical events that outraged respectable society and tore communities and families apart.

Prepare to be shocked by
* the Glandenys ménage à trois
* the murder at Dolaucothi
* the shooting of a Trawsgoed gamekeeper
* the 'Welsh wizard' of Pantycoy, Cwrtycadno
* the first Methodist martyr.
