      During Iolo Morganwg's lifetime Britain was obsessed with literary forgery. This book reveals the unexpected connections and hidden influences behind Britain's most successful (and hence, perhaps, least visible) Romantic forger. It explores Iolo's own strongly-held ideas about the Truth-historical, literary and religious.

      Both fable and mystery, 'Star-Shot' is set in a small world of parks and galleries around Cardiff's national museum, in a time not quite our own. As their paths cross, characters reveal stories of obsession, loss and recovery, creating a fragile network of relationships that resist the inexorable channels of silence eating into the city.
