Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review
'Here at the turn of the leaf a horseman is riding.' The Mabinogi is the Welsh national epic, a collection of prose tales of war and enchantment, adventure and romance, which have long fascinated readers all over the world. Matthew Francis's poetic retelling of the first four stories (the Four Branches of the Mabinogi) captures the magic and strangeness of this medieval Celtic world: a baby is kidnapped by a monstrous claw, a giant wades across the Irish Sea to do battle, a wizard makes a woman out of flowers, only to find she is less biddable than he expected. Permeating the whole sequence is a delight in storytelling, the power of the imagination to transform human experience into works of tragedy, comedy and wonder.
