The Mabinogion by Anonymous

4.0

The Mabinogion is a collection of Welsh myths and legends, some of which involve King Arthur. The translation I read was written by Lady Charlotte Guest in 1812. I picked this up because I bought a modern retelling and wanted to understand the references, and I ended up really enjoying it! There's some seriously baffling justice in here though - one woman's husband is killed and the murderer is asked to do right by her and marry her himself (presumably so she doesn't starve to death having lost her husband's income). I'm very glad I don't live in the past.
