Description
The Mabinogion: A Collection of Ancient Welsh Tales This collection of eleven prose stories is based on medieval Welsh manuscripts, drawing on pre-Christian Celtic mythology. The tales contain some of the oldest European folklore in existence, with themes dating back to the early Iron Age. The stories have been compiled from the Red Book of Hergest, a manuscript that first appeared around 1382. The Mabinogion includes a range of stories from Welsh legend, including the Arthurian Tales, the tales of Kilhwch and Olwen, and the Dream of Maxen Wledig. These stories offer a unique insight into the mythology and folklore of ancient Wales, and provide a fascinating glimpse into the country's rich cultural heritage. This new edition features the original artwork from the 1902 edition, which has been completely reset for this publication. With its rich history and cultural significance, The Mabinogion is a valuable resource for anyone interested in European folklore and mythology.
