Description
From the Red Book of Hergest, these are the tales of the Mabinogi. First episode of the fantasy podcast series, based on the ancient myths of Wales.
Pryderi, Prince of Dyfed, heads to Harlech in North Wales, to win the hand of Princess Branwen of Gwynedd. But first he must impress her giant of a brother, King Bran the Blessed.
The tales of the Mabinogi are tales of romance, tragedy, comedy and fantasy and together they form the earliest prose stories of Britain. Award-winning writer Lucy Catherine gives these stories a modern flavour while remaining true to the magic of Celtic mythology.
