About the book
"Of all life's certainties, there is none more fascinating than death." "And in this book, which accompanies the ITV1 Wales series of the same name, that morbid fascination is explored by Lionel Fanthorpe, the motor-biking vicar, who takes us on a roaring tour around the gravestones of Wales." "His investigations, in the company of co-author Richard Pawelko, are in turn informative, amusing and poignant, as the graveyards, tombs and epitaphs tell their stories of heroism and villainy, of tragedy and triumph. Those same stones often speak in riddles, as if abandoning the uncommon experiences of the common man to the shrouds of history and mystery. But whatever their secrets, they cannot remain silent." "From funereal folklore to masons' materials, from murderers to martyrs, and from poets to politicians, Fanthorpe and Pawelko leave no stone unturned."--BOOK JACKET.
