Amazing

Being named after one of the principle characters in the Mabinogion, I recieved this book for my first Christmas, and I have been fascinated with the Welsh myths ever since. The authors do a marvelous job of joining together the disjointed translations, making the stories ok for children without disney-fying them beyond hope. The wonder and strangeness remains, and the magic. It is a shame that it is out of print, but I would still definitely reccommend this book to anyone, adult or child. Margaret Jones's watercolors add to it immesurably. (...)
