Siôn Jobbins sometimes walks a tightrope between being thought-provoking and provocative. He writes of the Treachery of the Blue Books report in the 19th century and its continuing effect; the invention of St Dwynwen's Day; Welsh-language pirate radio in the 1960s; language protests; the changing Welshness of Cardiff and Swansea and the idea of a new Welsh royal family.
Mae Siôn Jobbins weithiau'n troedio'r ffin denau rhwng pryfocio a chythruddo. Yn y gyfrol hon mae'n sôn am 'Frad y Llyfrau Gleision' a'r effaith barhaus a gafodd yr adroddiad; dyfeisio Dydd Santes Dwynwen; radio answyddogol Cymraeg y 1960au; yr angen am brotestiadau iaith; Cymreictod cyfnewidiol Caerdydd ac Abertawe, a'r posibilrwydd o gael teulu brenhinol Cymreig
