Why read it?

1 author picked Sunken Cities. Some Legends of the Coast and Lakes of Wales as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Written in the 1950s by a museum curator-geologist, Sunken Cities is one of the earliest expositions of ‘myth and legend’ and their plausible geological meanings. The author marries his deep knowledge of Welsh traditions about submerged places with contemporary geological understandings. Of course, geology was transformed the following decade but North’s book remains insightful and grounded in ways that many more recent accounts are not. If I lived in Wales, I would be off every weekend with it in hand!

From Patrick's list on submerged lands.
