Tales from the Mabinogion

The medieval tales of wonder and magic known as the Mabinogion are considered to be Wales's chief contribution to world literature.

This edition selects material from Gwyn Thomas and Kevin Crossley-Holland's acclaimed translation of the entire work, including the stories of of Arown the hunter and his pack of shinning hounds, Rhiannon riding the horse no man may overtake however hard he gallops, the giant king Bendigeidfran wading to war across the open sea, and Math and Gwydion conjuring a woman out of flowers.Crossley-Holland, Kevin is the author of 'Tales from the Mabinogion', published 2004 under ISBN 9781585675562 and ISBN 1585675563.
