Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

The Mabinogion’s tales were first recorded in written form around seven hundred years ago. They are partly based on early medieval historical events, but may hark back to older iron age traditions. Now, the four branches of the Mabinogion, a Welsh treasure regarded as some of the great tales of the world can be enjoyed again, because Tales from the Mabinogion a retelling of the tales by National Poet Gwyn Thomas, and illustrated by Margaret Jones, is back in print. “The books were originally published for children,” says Mared Roberts from Y Lolfa, “but I think they can be enjoyed equally by adults due to the strikingly elegant illustrations of Margaret Jones. Gwyn Thomas, whilst ensuring the adaptation is readable and understandable, has managed to maintain the magical nature of the original text.”
