The spellbinding tale of a shipwrecked boy who had a remarkable ability to mend broken bones will be shared with walkers by one of his direct descendents.
Dafydd Evans will take ramblers at the Isle of Anglesey Walking Festival on a journey to discover the origins of modern orthopaedic medicine which lie among several generations of his family.
The story starts with the mysterious tale of little Evan Thomas, known as the Bonesetter, who was shipwrecked with another small boy, thought to be his brother around the 1740s.

A £4 million scheme to transform one of the most deprived housing estates in Wales has been unveiled.
Housing Association Cartrefi Conwy will be using a pioneering type of eco-friendly external wall insulation to renovate more than 250 homes on the Peulwys estate overlooking Old Colwyn.
In addition, the installation of new boiler systems, loft insulation and draft proofing will help slash 40 per cent off tenants' fuel bills.

A campaign has been launched to inspire a Mary Portas-style revival on high streets across Denbighshire.
The County Council has teamed up with Coleg Llandrillo Cymru to help independent retailers boost sales.
Staff of the Coleg Llandrillo's Retail Skills Shop will deliver a series of taster sessions for the Mary Portas Guide to Successful Retailing. The aim is to give shop owners and staff an insight into a programme of courses on offer which can help retailers improve their performance.
However, there are only 15 places up-for-grabs at each of the Denbighshire County Council-funded taster sessions, which will be held in towns across the county. The taster sessions will be delivered by qualified Mary Portas trainer Helen Hodgkinson, who says they are free to retailers.

A planned new footpath on Anglesey will take walkers on a journey back through time - all the way back to 860 million years BC.
In those days Anglesey was part of what we now know as Antarctica and the island is still on the move – at a rate of three centimetres a year, towards Russia.
The footpath will take in the story of a relative newcomer, St Patrick, who founded a church in Llanbadrig in the 5th century and marks the spot where the Dalai Lama remarked he had found the most peaceful spot on earth.

One of the leading independent care organisations in Wales has been given a top environmental accolade.
From putting up bird boxes to reviewing fuel consumption in its seven care homes, Pendine Park has taken a toothcomb to its Wrexham-based operations. As a result, they've been awarded a prestigious Green Dragon environmental standard.
The award comes through Groundwork Wales, a leading local, regional and national environmental regeneration network which helps build sustainable communities across Wales. It carried out a two-day inspection of Pendine Park. Smartcare training centre in Wrexham has also collected an award.

A day trip to Anglesey and North Wales organised by Friends of Manx National Heritage (FMNH), with the help of Manx2.com, was a complete sell out.
The recent special excursion came about after FMNH and CADW – the Welsh Government's historic environment service – signed a reciprocal agreement at the end of 2011.
A private charter flight carrying 19 FMNH members, organised by Manx2.com, left the Isle of Man first thing in the morning. After arriving at RAF Valley airport, the party visited some of Anglesey and North Wales' most popular sites, including Beaumaris Castle, Conwy Castle and the amazingly preserved Elizabethan town house of Plas Mawr. Lunch was taken in historic Conwy. They were accompanied throughout the day by a very knowledgeable and interesting Blue Badge Guide. The day ended with a brief stop at the village with the longest name in Britain - Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch - or Llanfair PG for short, before returning to RAF Valley for the quick flight back to the Isle of Man.
