The Mabinogion Tetralogy: 90th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of the Epic Modern Fantasy Classic, with a Foreword by Christopher Paolini - Hardcover

by Evangeline Walton (Author), Christopher Paolini (Foreword by)

A deluxe hardcover special edition of the classic fantasy series, with fully restored and corrected texts and a new foreword by Christopher Paolini

Evangeline Walton's Mabinogion Tetralogy is a remarkable achievement, a powerful work of the imagination that "ranks with the best of twentieth-century works of fantasy" (Publishers Weekly). This edition features a striking foil-stamped cover with intricate Celtic iconography, gilded edges, and a matching green ribbon marker for a true collector's experience.

The origins of these works of ancient Welsh mythology are unknown to us. But in every form they've taken through the centuries, the Mabinogion tales have captivated and delighted readers.

In her lifetime, Walton reworked the four branches of the Mabinogi's collected legends into four now-widely-beloved narratives: The Prince of Annwn, The Children of Llyr, The Song of Rhiannon, and The Island of the Mighty, which appear here restored and corrected to Walton's original magnificent texts.

On its 90th anniversary, Walton's tetralogy returns in a deluxe hardcover package worthy of the masterpiece inside, with a foreword from legendary superfan Christopher Paolini.
