From the Red Book of Hergest, these are the tales of the Mabinogi. Fantasy adventure, based on the iconic work of medieval Welsh mythology.
Brigid and Pryderi must defeat Roisin and fulfil King Bran's prophecy.
In this second series we continue our adventures through myth and legend. Series one is available on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Sounds.
The tales of the Mabinogi form the earliest prose stories of Britain. Written around the 14th Century, the stories actually come from much earlier than that – they developed out of oral traditions, before being compiled in the 12th and 13th centuries. This was a time when the Welsh were struggling to keep their independence in the face of the Anglo-Norman conquest.
The stories tell of a mythical pre-Saxon era of Medieval Wales. This is a land of magic; of dragons, fairies and giants. It's a land of romance, and tragedy, adventure and fantasy. Award-winning writer Lucy Catherine (The Master and Margherita, Being Human, Vanity Fair) gives these stories a modern flavour while remaining true to the vivid magic of Celtic mythology.
