The Mabinogion (Squashed Edition)

The Squashed edition of The Mabinogion abridged from the original text to read in an hour or so. This collection of Welsh folk-takes comes from manuscripts of the 13th Century but is thought to be taken from much older pre-Christian Celtic stories and possibly goes back to a late Iron Age tradition of oral storytelling. Squashed editions are precise abridgements - the original ideas in their own words the full beam of the book the quotable quotes and all the famous lines but neatly honed down to the length of a readable short story. Like reading the bible without all the begats - Prof. Jim Curtis
