The book will remind them of what they did when they were children and they can share this knowledge with their own children and what is more important pass it on to their grandchildren .

For expatriates who were born in Wales and now live in other parts of the world, the book will no doubt generate a certain degree of "hiraeth". There is no word in any other language which conveys as effectively the feeling of pride and longing for the mother country as "hiraeth". The book should prove to be a valuable link to remind these readers of their early days in Wales.

For people who were not born in Wales, but claim a Welsh heritage, the book opens up a vista of experiences in Wales during the time frame covered in the book. No doubt this particular group of people will find accounts of events and day to day life in Wales to be quite different than that experienced in the country of their birth. It will give them a better awareness of Wales and will alert them to a lifestyle which in some cases is still maintained in the more rural parts of Wales and by the older residents of Wales.

The information in the book is in many ways unique since to the best of the author's knowledge, no other book describes as many aspects of daily life in Wales during this particular time frame. The book is a valuable source of knowledge for parents of young children and can be a catalyst in creating an interest in Wales among all members of the family, regardless of age. No doubt young people who attend Welsh related events in counrries other than Wales, may not fully understand the originas an traditions of such events. After reading the book, they should have a better understanding of these Welsh related events and this may also generate an interest in looking for an opportuntiy to visit Wales at some time in the future. Inevitably such visitors to Wales fall in love with the country and its people. Although excellent travel books are available about places of interest in Wales, the potential visitor will have a different understanding of the country, its people and its culture after reading "Reminiscences of Wales 1924 - 1942".

There are many others who, although they do not have a Welsh heritage but want to learn something about Wales. They may be interested in learning Welsh or studying certain aspects of Welsh life. It should be noted that the book contains numerous Welsh phrases although no attempt has been made to show the exact pronunciation of these phrases. People who wish to expand their knowledge of other countries might be interested to know that Wales was once a separate realm with its own language and culture and that the language and culture still survive.

Therse are only a few of the many reasons why people may want to buy the book.
