“It’s one of our ancestors’ greatest
triumphs against the Snowdonian Welsh.
The odds were astounding: five thousand against six. It was a hard, hand-to-hand battle over two
days with every inch won in blood and sinew, but thank Snodd we were
victorious. Despite everything, we were
impressed by the fighting spirit of the Welsh – those six certainly put up a
terrific fight.”

Zoltar, by Jasper Fforde)
