"The story of Snowdon in Jim Perrin's words. The secrets within its fractured rocks and its shy flora, its folk tales echoing an older race and its beliefs, travelers' chronicles, industry, sport and an anthology of literature all contribute towards our understanding of the mountain. The aim of the book is to present Snowdon afresh to those who love landscape and literature; mountaineering and myth. It is full of fascinating history and anecdotes about Snowdon. A sumptuous hardback volume with a foreword by Merfyn Jones." --Publisher description.
