This is a great little gem. They've chosen an interesting selection of stories. it's great that it's just North Wales. It's an engaging read. I love the photos and illustrations.
The references to place locations and geographical locations at the back could do with being a little clearer in explanation as some seem to refer to the stories mentioned while others seem expansions with no reason why.
