Wednesday, April 29, 2026: The Mabinogion

Recommended Translation by Sioned Davies (2007)

Online Free Translation by Project Gutenberg

The Mabinogion is a collection of eleven medieval Welsh tales, whose invention and fantastical interweaving of Celtic mythology and Arthurian romance have made it one of literature's greatest epics.

Stay tuned for further upcoming titles!
