"The Nine Stone Cowboy and more.." is a compilation of almost one hundred stories written by retired Rhondda Leader newspaper reporter David Edwards.From reporting on a "drunk in charge of a horse" to being mistaken for a distraction thief is just a small memorable part in his newspaper reporting life.The author has always maintained that he "could walk into any pub or club in the Rhondda and leave with a fistful of stories."In this book he captures the remarkable characters he has met during his years on the newsdesk and the sad and happy stories that were generated from which many describe as "the most famous valley in the world."
