The Mabinogion

Celtic myths reimagined in medieval Welsh tales.

If you're enchanted by the mystical and the legendary, "The Mabinogion" promises to transport you to the heart of medieval Welsh folklore. From shape-shifters to magical creatures, and echoes of King Arthur's court, the tales weave a tapestry of the ancient with the allure of mystical adventures. It's a deep dive into a world where heroes and magic coexist, retold with a vibrancy that honors the oral traditions from which they sprung. Perfect for anyone looking to lose themselves in the rich, complex mythologies of Celtic lore.

Description

Then they took the flowers of the oak, and the flowers of the broom, and the flowers of the meadowsweet, and from those they conjured up the fairest and most beautiful maiden that anyone had ever seen. Celtic mythology, Arthurian romance, and an intriguing interpretation of British history--these are just some of the themes embraced by the anonymous authors of the eleven tales that make up the Welsh medieval masterpiece known as the Mabinogion. They tell of Gwydion the shape-shifter, who can create a woman out of flowers; of Math the magician whose feet must lie in the lap of a virgin; of hanging a pregnant mouse and hunting a magical boar. Dragons, witches, and giants live alongside kings and heroes, and quests of honor, revenge, and love are set against the backdrop of a country struggling to retain its independence. Sioned Davies' lively translation recreates the storytelling world of medieval Wales and re-invests the tales with the power of performance.
