Fat Dogs and Welsh Estates

Author(s): Beth Haslam

Location(s): Wales

Genre(s): Autobiography/Memoirs

Era(s): 1960s - 80s

Imagine a land protected by craggy mountains, lapped by whispering seas, and guarded by mighty fortresses with bloody histories. This is North Wales, home to the legendary red dragon, and Beth Haslam’s beloved birthplace.
Petulant ponies, neurotic sheepdogs and rabbits with razor-sharp teeth shape Beth’s life as she grows up on a farm estate. She’ll tell you tales of sailing the treacherous Menai Strait Swellies, site of many a dark happening. You’ll learn about the stunning region whose slate once roofed the world, and the ghost-filled castle she called home.
This is no ordinary upbringing. Croeso i Gymru!
