Coracles of the World by Sir Peter Badge

Coracles of the World
by Sir Peter Badge
President of the Coracle Society

Available from all bookshops
from 14 July 2009


The book explains - and illustrates - the difference between coracles on rivers in Wales and England, looks at the Scottish and Irish versions of the craft, and then at the coracles of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia - especially at Vietnam, the only place in the world where coracles are thriving.

"I owe a substantial debt of gratitude to Conwy Richards, who has provided me with a bottomless pool of information, without which this book would be the poorer".

Peter Badge - Author

'No one is better qualified to write on this subject than Sir Peter Badge. Not only has he an unsurpassed knowledge of coracles and related craft throughout the world, but he is also an experienced and highly skilled coracle maker and handler. He has also been a tireless campaigner on behalf of the rights of the few remaining Welsh coracle-fishermen to continue to practise their ancient craft'.

John Williams-Davies,
Director, Musuem of Welsh Life, St Eagan's
