Then they took the flowers of the oak, and the flowers of the
broom, and the flowers of the meadowsweet, and from those they
conjured up the fairest and most beautiful maiden that anyone had
ever seen. Celtic mythology, Arthurian romance, and an intriguing
interpretation of British history - these are just some of the
themes embraced by the anonymous authors of the eleven tales that
make up the Welsh medieval masterpiece known as the Mabinogion.
They tell of Gwydion the shape-shifter, who can create a woman out
of flowers; of Math the magician whose feet must lie in the lap of
a virgin; of hanging a pregnant mouse and hunting a magical boar.
Dragons, witches, and giants live alongside kings and heroes, and
quests of honour, revenge, and love are set against the backdrop of
a country struggling to retain its independence. Sioned Davies'
lively translation recreates the storytelling world of medieval
Wales and re-invests the tales with the power of performance.
