I always love books like these. As much as I enjoy reading up on some political, economic, or social aspect of medieval society in my own particular field or more generally, sometimes I just want to know about what medieval people thought about foxes or swans.
In need of some new trivia or interesting conversation starters for the Christmas dinner table? Discover more about the fascinating (and sometimes bizarre) ways that medieval people perceived the natural world in our Medieval Animals series.

It was with sadness that UWP heard of the passing of Hazel Walford Davies, academic and author who wrote many important volumes on drama and theatre in Wales as well as her superlative biography of O. M. Edwards, which won Book of the Year in the non-fiction category in 2021.
