Description

Step into a world where ancient Welsh legends come alive through the voice of King Arthur’s court. In a cozy chamber at Caerlleon, the king rests while his companions trade stories over flagons of mead and sizzling meat, inviting listeners to hear the first tale—the mysterious “Lady of the Fountain.” The narrative weaves together chivalry, enchantment, and the subtle clash of pagan roots with emerging Christian ideas, all set against a backdrop of mist‑shrouded hills and whispered ravens.

Beyond this opening, the collection gathers some of the oldest Celtic myths, from heroic quests to otherworldly dreams, each preserved with the lyrical cadence of Lady Charlotte Guest’s celebrated translation. Listeners will encounter bold warriors, magical beings, and the timeless allure of a culture that predates even Arthur himself, offering a vivid glimpse into the mythic heart of Wales.
