Description

"The Mabinogion Vol. 2" by Sir Owen Morgan Edwards and Lady Charlotte Schreiber is a collection of medieval Welsh prose stories compiled from earlier oral traditions. These eleven tales span diverse genres—drama, romance, tragedy, fantasy, and humor—drawing from ancient Celtic mythology and Arthurian legend. The Four Branches of the Mabinogi form the core sequence, while other stories include heroic quests and historic legends. Originally translated by Lady Charlotte Guest in the 19th century, these sophisticated narratives continue to influence literature, music, and art worldwide.
