From the Red Book of Hergest, these are the tales of the Mabinogi. Fantasy podcast series, based on the ancient myths of Wales. 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 gives these stories a modern flavour while remaining true to the magic of Celtic mythology. Brigid…. Aimee Ffion Edwards Pryderi…. Darragh Mortell Arawn….
