Brought to you by Penguin.

Drawing on myth, folklore and history, the stories of the Mabinogion passed from generations of story tellers before they were written down in the 13th century in the form we know.

Set in dual realms of the forests and valleys of Wales and the shadowy otherworld, the tales are permeated by a dreamlike atmosphere. In 'Math Son of Mathonwy', two brothers plot to carry off the virginal Goewin, while in 'Manawydan Son of Llŷr', a chieftain roams throughout Britain after a spell is cast over his land. And King Arthur's court provides the backdrop to tales such as 'How Culhwch Won Olwen', in which a young man must complete many tasks before he can marry a giant's daughter.

Mr. Louis Des Preaux

Interesting because of its famed origins

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 May 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is very interesting, but I found it disappointing. That is probably my fault because I had always heard how important it was because of its origins. It was the basis of Evangeline Walton's books,"The Island of the Mighty" (originally published as "The Virgin and the Swine"!) and "The Children of Llyr". As a school-boy in Tasmania, (1950s) our Form IV master, Edward Brown, a former RAF navigator, read us his "Bran and Branwen" which he had written. Even normally bored school boys found it fascinating. It was based on the Mabinogion, but as far as I can find out was refused publication as "too advanced for children". So, perhaps, my disappointment is unreasonable. Source books can be disappointing --- but that is only my opinion --- sources are important. If you like legends and myths, it is still well worth reading.
