The Mabinogion, a group of Celtic tales or myths dating from about 500 BC, tells stories of real and imagined history set in Wales and mythical fantasy lands. In this book, Caitlin Matthews presents both a guide to this literary tradition (first translated into English in 1849) and a retelling of ages-old Celtic myths laced with magic, gods and goddesses, battles, and wonder. The Celtic scholar or interested lay person can explore in this volume the delights of an ancient folklore, including the Pendragons, Mabon (known as the Wondrous Youth and son of the Great Goddess), totem beasts, and the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. These stories will entertain, enlighten, and educate the reader with a taste for medieval adventure and the Celtic tradition.

A full-scale battle breaks out, as the desire for freedom struggles to win out against the equally compelling motivation of greed.
