Kenneth Morris on the Mabinogion

As an enthusiast for Welsh Celtic mythology, I have read everything from Charlotte Guest to Evangeline Walton and everything in between. Kenneth Morris fills in many blank spaces between stories and writes with feeling and understanding that could only come from being a native Welshman and Theosophist. This book is absolutely my favorite piece of writing on Celtic mythology.
