Synopsis

It is amazing just how many phrases exist with the word ‘Welsh’ in them. Most of us have heard of Welsh rabbit (or Welsh rarebit) and Welsh cakes - but what about Welsh bait and Welsh arch! What was the Welsh main? And what is a Welsh uncle? Many of these expressions e.g. Welsh bedding and Welsh comb were originally insults; others e. g. Welsh vault are neutral. This dictionary contains 1,400 entries and is the first collection of phrases which begin with the word ‘Welsh’. Who was the Welsh wizard, the Welsh Shakespeare and where would you fnd the Welsh Atlantis, the Welsh Coldltz and Welsh Athens? This book will delight all who love words - Welsh and English alike.
