Though written down in the Middle Ages, these stories are thought by scholars to be probably much older, perhaps going back to the dawn of Celtic civilization.\u003cbr\u003eThey fall naturally into several groups: the \u003ci\u003eMabinogion\u003c\/i\u003e (stories) proper, composed of the four tales of Pwyll, Branwen, Manawyddan, and Math; the two short pieces \u003ci\u003eThe Dream of Maxen Wledig\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eLludd and Llevelys\u003c\/i\u003e; the incomparable \u003ci\u003eKilhwch and Olwen\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the earliest Arthurian tales in Welsh; \u003ci\u003eThe Dream of Rhonabwy\u003c\/i\u003e, a romantic look back to the heroic age of Britain; and the three Arthurian romances proper: \u003ci\u003eThe Lady of the Fountain\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePeredur the Son of Evrawc\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eGeraint the Son of Erbin\u003c\/i\u003e, with their abundant evidence of Norman-French influences. Also included is Lady Guest's translation of \u003ci\u003eTaliesin\u003c\/i\u003e, the story of the famous bard. Destiny, magic, chance, knightly feats of arms, love, and betrayal -- all are here in these ancient, beautifully crafted stories, sure to delight scholars, students, general readers, and any lover of myth and legend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 8.25 x 5.15 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 24, 1997\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47227840037113,"sku":"9780486295411","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/VkZoSGxoRjdpSW1FRUlqaTlzampoQT09.webp?v=1768285626","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-mabinogion-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
