Behind the facade of idyllic rural life, there was a twilight world of mental illness, suicide, crime, vicious assaults, infanticide, cruelty and other assorted acts of depravity. This almost anecdotal historical study is often funny, sometimes disturbing, always revealing. 607 $aWales$xCivilization 607 $aWales$xSocial life and customs 607 $aCarmarthenshire (Wales)$xSocial conditions 676 $a306.09 700 $aDavies$b Russell$01632684 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809303603321 996 $aSecret sins$94106318 997 $aUNINA
