The Mabinogion
Oxford World's Classics
The foundational text of Welsh literature and one of the great treasures of world mythology. The Mabinogion is a collection of eleven interconnected medieval Welsh tales that have captivated readers for centuries, offering glimpses into a realm of magic, heroism, and enchantment that shaped the British imagination.
These stories are the wellspring from which Arthurian legend flows. Here you will encounter Pwyll, Prince of Dyfed, navigating the Otherworld; Branwen, daughter of Llŷr, caught between warring kingdoms; and the incomparable Culhwch, undertaking an impossible quest. Each tale is woven with intricate symbolism, vivid characters, and a sense of wonder that transcends time.
In this Oxford World's Classics edition, the translation renders these medieval tales accessible to modern readers while preserving their lyrical beauty and mythic power. With a helpful map and scholarly introduction, this is the perfect entry point for newcomers to Welsh mythology, while remaining an indispensable reference for devoted enthusiasts.
A book that deserves a place on every serious reader's shelf.
A cornerstone of The Literary Cat's All Time Favourites.
