About this book
The Mabinogion Vol. 3 by Charlotte Schreiber invites listeners into the mythic, shape-shifting world of medieval Wales where gods, kings, and bards collide. This audiobook completes a celebrated translation of Welsh narrative lore, drawing on the Red Book of Hergest and related manuscripts to present the four branches of the Mabinogion alongside kindred tales such as Lludd and Llevelys and the Story of Taliesin.
Steeped in a pre-Christian, pagan atmosphere, these myths and legends unfold through richly imagined episodes of enchantment, courtly duty, otherworld journeys, and poetic rivalry. Themes of sovereignty, transformation, and the power of language run through the tales, reflecting both oral storytelling traditions and the language shifts captured in medieval manuscripts. Listeners will appreciate the historical resonance of the texts—their roots in Celtic folklore, medieval Welsh culture, and the work of early translators who preserved these stories for modern audiences.
Ideal for fans of myths/legends, students of medieval literature and languages, and anyone drawn to lyrical, imaginative storytelling, this audiobook is a compelling gateway to Celtic myth and the enduring art of mythmaking.
