About This Item
London: Everyman's Library CLASSICS, 2001 1857151682. Hardback. 9781857151682. Fine/Fine. DW is not price-clipped. Silk ribbon page marker is still in place. Dimension: 208 x 131 x 21. Weight in Grams: 468. 320 pages. No inscriptions or annotations. This copy was once in a school library as indicated by a small neat stamp (easily covered) on first end page, but it seems to me it was never taken out because it is otherwise pristine. This was a publication issued to UK schools as part of the 'Millennium Project. First assembled on paper in the fourteenth century, the eleven stories in The Mabinogion reach far back into the oral traditions of Welsh poetry. Closely linked to the Arthurian legends - King Arthur himself appears in one of the stories - they summon up a world of mystery and magic which is still evoked by the landscape so vividly described in them. .
