Ideal for trivia lovers and those interested in the more esoteric aspects of life in Wales, Foster's Welsh Oddities is a wonderful collection of Wales' quirkiest characters, most extraordinary facts and strangest coincidences.

Find out about such curiosities as: the Welsh beach that whistles; the ferocious bull that once stopped a train; one of the strangest wills ever admitted to probate; the pioneer Welsh explorer who laid the foundations for the first overland expedition of America; how a young Welshwoman single-handedly captured a dozen French soldiers and helped to foil an invasion.
