The island of Anglesey is separated from the coast of Wales only by a narrow strait, now bridged. However is has its own unique heritage. Sharp and Williamson's exquisite photographs of
Anglesey through the millennia are complimented by the historical narrative by Lynch (archaeology, Bangor U., emerita). From Bronze Age megaliths and tombs to factories and twenty-first century
architecture, the beauty of the island is displayed along with its often violent history, with Roman, Irish and Norman invaders. The text is full of anecdotes about the saints and sinners of
Anglesey and those who were a bit of both. It should certainly lure readers to make plans for a visit. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc.,
