Andrew Green presents his selection of the one hundred most significant objects in Welsh history. Wales in 100 Objects brings history to life, evoking key moments in Wales' past through tangible, physical artefacts.The objects, chosen by author Andrew Green with the help of librarians, museum and gallery curators, and other experts, range from the ancient to the very recent, including items such as an iron sword dating from 1st century AD Roman rule, the earliest known copy of 'Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau', and Raspberry Pi, the revolutionary coding computer for children first produced in Wales. All are represented by Rolant Dafis' stunning photography, and given context by Green's brief but fact-packed essays.

[Judith Johnson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really excellent book with accessible, informative, and interesting writing about different aspects of Welsh history accompanying beautiful photographs by Rolant Dafis.

I would highly recommend this book as a gift for any friend or family member who is interested in learning more about Welsh culture. I will certainly be buying a copy for our son. He is a very busy teacher and father of two young children so weighty tomes are out of the question, but this is the kind of book you can happily read one page a day before you go to sleep.

I see it is also available in the Welsh language. Hyfryd!
