Introduction to the Mabinogi

By Shan Morgain

- Default Title
Description
A little book to introduce the Mabinogi, which revolutionised the telling of stories a thousand years ago. All our prose fiction, novels, films, gaming, is descended from this work of genius.Here are the tales themselves in a closely accurate retelling, plus all the main ideas scholars have developed about them.Often known as 'mythology', or 'Celtic mythology', the Mabinogi has been recognised since the 1970s as a sophisticated literature. It deserves to stand with Shakespeare and Homer yet is not nearly as well known as it should be.With all that the tales are wonderful stories of love, adventure, war, tragedy and enchantments. Mature scholars and young children alike can thoroughly enjoy them.The book has a wealth of illustrations, list of characters, and help with translations and further reading. It is written in clear, freindly style and will be well within the reach of teenagers upwards. Yet it also covers many sophusticated theories.
