Description

Gerald of Wales' Journey Through Wales is a vivid account of his 1188 mission to the country as a missionary. In a diary-like style, he records the day-to-day events of the mission, alongside stories of local miracles and folklore.

He also chronicles the everyday lives of the Welsh people in The Description, offering a unique view into medieval life with skill and affection. Witty and humorous throughout, these works provide an engaging glimpse into the landscape and culture of 13th-century Wales.
