Four Branches of The Mabinogion (4 Book Set) // Evangeline Walton // 1970s // Vintage Paperback Fantasy Mythology
Ballantine, 1970s.
This listing includes four books -- the four branches of The Mabinogion. This is a fantasy series written by Evangeline Walton that retells the Welsh Mabinogion myths and legends that were first compiled in the 12th-13th centuries. These stories were based on much older oral traditions of ancient Celtic mythology and folklore.
The four books are: "The Island of the Mighty," "The Children of Llyr," "The Song of Rhiannon," and "Prince of Annwn." The cover artist for "The Island of the Mighty" was Bob Pepper. The cover artist for the other three books was David Johnston.
Good condition overall with some wear, tear, blemish to the covers and spines. Some curling to the corners. Pen markings on the inside cover of "The Island of the Mighty." A bit of foxing/discoloration to the top/side/bottom outer edges of pages, in particular on the "The Children Llyr." Pencil markings on the first pages of "The Song of Rhiannon" and "Prince of Annwn." Yellowing to the pages. Some dog-eared pages. Some crinkling to the pages on "Prine of Annwn."
