Summary
(From the publisher):
The Mabinogion is the wonderful compendium of Welsh legends first set down in the Middle Ages. But the stories, rooted in the oral tradition, are far older and offer a glimpse into the lost mythology of Britain.
Evangeline Walton's masterly telling of that great work is one of the most remarkable achievements of twentieth-century fantasy. She has taken the magical adventures of young Prince Pwyll, the wizard prince Gwydion, the beautiful Rhiannon and the steadfast Branwen and turned them into four compelling narratives, brilliantly bringing to life the men and women, the gods and goddesses, the wizards and sorceresses of those ancient days.
This omnibus edition consists of the following books:
- Prince of Annwn
- The Children of Llyr
- The Song of Rhiannon
- The Island of the Mighty
