Synopsis "I, Iolo "

A first-person retelling of the story of Iolo Morganwg, one of Welsh history's most colorful characters. Iolo Morganwg had many faces: stonemason, self-taught scholar, poet, hymnist, politician, patriot, revolutionary, druid, failed businessman, drug addict, campaigner for human rights and perpetrator of the greatest act of literary forgery in European history. We follow his adventurous quest to achieve fame for himself, respect for his culture, and freedom from oppression in a malevolent world. Mogwanwg went on to be admired by some as a hero who helped create the identity of modern Wales, but reviled by others as a conman and cheat.
