Professor Meic Stephens wrote; "Terry Breverton belongs to that rare breed of Welshmen who stake their livelihood on trying to publish books in which they passionately believe" (Western Mail Magazine 7 April 2001).^{[citation needed]} He is trying to revive interest in Welsh culture and history, which has been the main focus of many of his books. The development of Welsh saints' feast days and pilgrims' trails is an ongoing interest. His books have been translated into many languages. They include the first biographies of Jasper Tudor and Owain Tudor (Henry VII's uncle and his grandfather). Of Jasper Tudor - Dynasty Maker, Margaret Attwood wrote; "Breverton for the first time makes sense of the Wars of the Roses for me".^{[5][citation needed]}

His An A to Z of Wales and the Welsh featured in national newspapers. He translated from mediaeval Welsh The Physicians of Myddfai - Cures and Remedies of the Medieval World. In 2002, Stephens wrote of Breverton's 100 Great Welshmen and 100 Great Welsh Women in the Western Mail Magazine; "both are really extraordinary achievements by a single author whose industry and enterprise seem to show no bounds."^{[citation needed]}
