'The ancient Celtic stories of the Mabinogion have received universal recognition from scholars as both sources of the Arthurian legend and keys to an understanding of the magic of the Celtic Otherworld. Now Caitlin Matthews, drawing on a full range of medieval texts, ancient Welsh writings, and related Irish folk stories, provides a fully revised and updated reader's guide to these rich and far-reaching tales.'
