A review by unevendays
The Mabinogion Tetralogy: The Prince of Annwn / The Children of Llyr / The Song of Rhiannon / The Island of the Mighty by Evangeline Walton

4.0

I enjoyed this retelling of the Mabinogion tales - which I knew from having read Lady Guest's translation previously. I liked the way Walton managed to keep an archaic turn of phrase without making the book too much hard work to read. It flowed well and I liked her expansions and reimaginings of certain aspects of the stories. I did feel, however, that she was telling them with a very modern, knowing, perspective and certainly with an agenda of her own (whether this was deliberate or not).
