Yes, you can find some history in museums and libraries - it is all around us too, in old photographs, in place names, on maps and in the remains of old buildings on a hillside or by the sea. Wherever you are in Wales, this book will help you to know and to recognise the history around you - and it will make you want to look for more. Who were the first people to live in Wales? Why is Glyndwr so important to the Welsh? What part did Wales play in the slave trade? How has the sea influenced our history? Come to look for some of the answers! -- Cyhoeddwr: Gwasg Carreg Gwalch

Come to look for some of the answers! -- Cyhoeddwr: Gwasg Carreg Gwalch Llyfr am hanes Cymru yw hwn gan Elin Jones, sy'n mynd a ni ar daith o'r dechreuad cyntaf un (tua 5000 o flynyddoedd yn ol pan ddechreuodd y bobl gyntaf esblygu, gan fyw mewn ogofau) hyd at sefydlu'r Senedd ym Mae Caerdydd yn 1997. Ceir llawer o ddigwyddiadau diddorol eraill yn hanes Cymru rhwng y cloriau, megis hanes y Celtiaid a'r Rhufeiniaid, sefydlu Cristnogaeth yng Nghymru a'r eglwysi ddaeth yn sgil hynny, cestyll mawreddog yn cael eu hadeiladu, y Cymry a'u rol yn y fasnach gaethwasiaeth, codi'r tollbyrth a hanes eu chwalu gan Ferched Beca cyfrwys, hanes ofnadwy y Welsh Not mewn ysgolion, y ddau ryfel byd, hawliau menywod, a llawer mwy. Hoffais y ffordd rannwyd y gyfrol, gyda phedair llinell amser yn dynodi'r gwahanol brif gyfnodau. Mae yma hefyd ddigon o luniau a diagramau diddorol; credaf fod hyn yn ysgafnhau'r cynnwys ac yn cadw ein diddordeb. Cyflwynir llawer o'r ystadegau ar ffurf siartau a lluniau, megis y map o Gymru sy'n dangos y twf yn nifer y rheilffyrdd dros gyfnod o amser - cymaint mwy effeithiol na rhestrau o rifau'n unig. Hoffais y clawr am ei fod yn lliwgar, yn cynnwys cymeriadau o wahanol gyfnodau, ac hefyd mae cynnwys y ddraig yn tynnu sylw. Dyma ychwanegiad gwerthfawr at unrhyw silff lyfrau. -- Elin Williams (13 oed) @ www.gwales.com
