Summary: Strange Tales
Comment: The Mabinogion is a collection of ancient Welsh mythlogical tales. The first four stories, called the four branches of Mabinogi, form a coherent cycle. The Mabinogion also contains several pseudo-historical tales, ans several early Arthurian stories. The earliest Arthurian tale ever written(Culhwch and Olwen)is contained in this volume. The Mabinogion takes place in a bizzare mythological world filled with dragons, demons, and faries. Overall, a fascinating read. Well worth a purchase.

Summary: Mabinogion
Comment: This is a good translation of the Welsh epic, but readers may wish to compare by reading Patrick Ford's translation which I find more lively.

Summary: Put down that Tolkein!
Comment: And pick up the Mabinogion! Lots of captivating stories that lie as close to the roots of the Legends of King Arthur, etc, as we can get. Not the lightest read ever, but often compelling. The introductions to the book as a whole, and each of it's sections, are thoughtful, informative, and reasonably short.
