That's a great book, I'm big into 'folk history' and this guy writes some of the more interesting stuff.
George Ewart Evans writes some great stuff in a similar vein, especially one Where Beards Wag All and The Horse In The Furrow. Your local library might have them.
Was thinking of learning Welsh once as an aid to site discovery, but stumbled at the first hurdle, was lots of stuff about nouns etc, and not much about the language. Another good book on etymology is The Dictionary of Word Origins by John Ayto, published by Bloomsbury
