BOOK RESUME: The Mabinogion is the essential collection of Welsh medieval tales, blending historical tradition with high-fantasy mythology. This 1976 edition is a landmark in its publishing history, being the first to pair the standard Jones and Jones translation with the stark, visionary illustrations of Jeff Thomas. The text provides an insight into the folklore of the Welsh princes, tracing the transition from an age of magic to the world of the Christian court.
