From the Red Book of Hergest, these are the tales of the Mabinogi. Second episode of a new fantasy adventure series, based on the iconic work of medieval Welsh mythology.

With Irish warships heading for the Welsh coast, Pryderi, Prince of Dyfed, embarks on a dangerous mission to win the favour of Matholwch, King of Ireland.

The tales of the Mabinogi are tales of romance, tragedy, comedy and fantasy and together they form the earliest prose stories of Britain. Award-winning writer Lucy Catherine (The Master and Margherita, Being Human, Vanity Fair) gives these stories a modern flavour while remaining true to the vivid magic of Celtic mythology.
