About this book
Rediscover the mythic heart of medieval Wales in The Mabinogion Vol. 2 by Owen Morgan Edwards, a stirring collection of translated Welsh tales that pulses with enchantment, chivalry, and strange otherworlds. This volume preserves Lady Charlotte Guest’s celebrated English translations from the Red Book of Hergest while Edward’s careful editorial notes offer closer readings and literal renderings that illuminate the original Middle Welsh language and lore.
Inside, listeners encounter Arthurian courts, heroic quests, and uncanny encounters—stories such as Geraint and The Dream of Rhonabwy—woven from oral tradition into the rich manuscript culture of medieval Britain. Themes of kingship, fate, transformation, and the boundary between the human and the supernatural recur throughout, revealing why the Mabinogion remains central to myths and legends studies. The work sits at the intersection of literature and historical languages, offering both narrative drama and insight into Celtic storytelling techniques.
Ideal for fans of Welsh mythology, Arthurian legend, folklore enthusiasts, students of medieval literature, and anyone fascinated by language and myth, this audiobook invites you to experience vividly imagined worlds and the enduring power of ancient tales.
