* A Pocket Guide to the Place-names of Wales
(Book - Amazon.co.uk) :
This is a fascinating book for anyone who wishes to know
something about the place-names of Wales. The current
surge in interest in the names that surround us perhaps
reflects a greater awareness of the local history and
depth of culture, which is present in Wales. There is an
interplay between Welsh and English which often manifests
in place-names. The introduction deals briefly with what
the study of place-names involves and how names can
reveal fascinating insights into the people, history,
environment and language of places. The bulk of the book
is made up of what might be termed a dictionary of
place-names.
This book is also available from Amazon.com and Amazon.ca.
