Product Description
Synopsis
An illustrated edition of a classic fantasy with over 50 full-colour paintings by the celebrated artist of "The Lord of the Rings". Widely recognized as the finest tales of Celtic mythology, the 11 stories were preserved in two Welsh collections, "The White Book of Rhydderch" (c.1300-1325) and "The Red Book of Hergest" (1375-1425), though the stories themselves hail from an oral tradition dating back to the 10th century. At the core of the book are tales of heroes and men, birth and death, gods and beasts, penance and vindication, kinship and kingship, battles and quests. "The Mabinogion" embraces much of ancient and early British culture, combining the numinous world of Celtic mythology, Arthurian legend and feudal Europe's Age of Chivalry. Indeed scholars have identified that it was out of "The Mabinogion" that the Arthurian legends were born.
