From the Red Book of Hergest, these are the tales of the Mabinogi. A new fantasy adventure series, based on the iconic work of medieval Welsh mythology.
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 (The Master and Margherita, Being Human, Vanity Fair) gives these stories a modern flavour while remaining true to the vivid magic of Celtic mythology.

This is an Audio drama, not a reading of a book about the Welsh myths... split into five parts as is the original.
This is a encoding from an analogue source, as the originals are DRM'd and only available for a year. Enjoy ~ RedG
Thank you for posting this! As someone with an interest in the ancient tales of the British Isles, I'm really looking forward to listening to this on a trip later this week!
