A year in pursuit of Welshness. Jasper Rees has always wanted to be Welsh. But despite Welsh grandparents (and a Welsh surname) he is an Englishman: by birth, upbringing & temperament. In this singular, hilarious love letter to a glorious country so often misunderstood, Rees sets out to achieve his goal of becoming a Welshman by learning to sing, play work, worship, think
- & above all, speak
- like one. On the way he meets monks tenors & politicians, & tries his hand at rugby & lambing
- all the while weaving together his personal story with Wales`s rich history. Culminating in a nail-biting biting test of Rees` Welsh-speaking skill at the National Eisteddfod, this exuberan journey of self-discovery celebrates the importance of national identity, & the joy of belonging.
