The Mabinogion

Brought to you by Penguin.

Drawing on myth, folklore and history, the stories of the Mabinogion passed from generations of storytellers before they were written down in the thirteenth 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 Ll^yr' 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.

Wonderful stories

The stories may be incomplete but very well told. Old stories stories often are. Even so it’s a great listen for those in the mood to hear.

great book to learn about Welsch and Celtic mythology

I'm so glad that I got this book. the reader was really good and important that she pronounced the names correctly; obviously a native speaker. Yous have to be to read this. also good explanations on insights starting each chapter.
