Amazing,

This review is from: Tales from the Mabinogion (Paperback)
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. (...)

More Mature Than You Might Think,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tales from the Mabinogion (Paperback)
We used this book as part of my daughter's 5th-grade classical homeschool curriculum, per the recommendation found in The Latin-Centered Curriculum. I wanted to warn others that the subject matter, which includes rape, gender transformations and incest, is somewhat mature for fifth grade, and the illustrations are grapic and include a nude woman. Parents who are planning to use this book may find it helpful to be warned about this content in advance. I certainly would have!
