From the Red Book of Hergest, these are the tales of the Mabinogi. Final episode of a new fantasy adventure series, based on the iconic work of medieval Welsh mythology.
As war between Wales and Ireland breaks out, Pryderi, Prince of Dyfed, joins the fleet from the Kingdom of Gwynedd to rescue Princess Branwen. The ships are led by the giant King Bran the Blessed, who wades across the Irish Sea.
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.
