"Wales" by W. Watkin Davies is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically in the 1920s. This work explores the rich history of Wales, tracing the development of its people from prehistoric times through significant periods such as the Roman occupation and the struggles for independence. The book delves into the myriad influences that have shaped Welsh society, politics, and culture over the centuries. At the start of the book, the author outlines the geographical and historical context of Wales, discussing its ancient inhabitants and how various migratory tribes shaped its early society. The narrative begins with reflections on the prehistoric era, describing the rugged landscape of Wales and the life of its earliest settlers, including their rudimentary art and social structures. As the opening chapters unfold, Davies sets the stage for a deeper exploration of pivotal events in Welsh history, including invasions, cultural developments, and the fight for national identity, providing readers with a foundation for understanding the complex historical tapestry of Wales.
