The Journey of Gerald through Wales
A man gets eaten alive by toads; lakes groan and change colour; venom spitting weasels attempt to murder a baby - just some of the extraordinary stories reported by Gerald the Welshman. Exactly 800 years ago he accompanied a small band of churchmen as they travelled around Wales recruiting fighting men for the Third Crusade. His diary includes 'much unusual description and remarkable excursions into natural history', and provides a fascinating window on the colourful yet distorted landscape of medieval Wales.
