Llandudno - Ivor Wynne Jones

Ivor Wynne Jones' original book, Llandudno, Queen of the Welsh Resorts, was first published over a quarter of a century ago. Long out of print, the book has been widely recognised as the essential handbook to this Welsh seaside town. Now, Landmark are bringing out a new edition, over three times the length of the original, incorporating many of the changes to the town and including a number of previously unpublished photographs. The new Llandudno, Queen of Welsh Resorts, retains the friendly format of the original, based on a series of topographical walks, but with the inclusion of some fascinating new material. There are war-time features on the U-boat rendezvous at Llandudno, the Wormhout Massacre of the Territorial Army and the Llandudno battalions at Mametz. The book also looks at Llandudno's operatic and theatrical tradition, the town's connection with Lewis Carol and Alice in Wonderland, and poses the key question "Did Madoc of Llandudno discover America?"
