From the Red Book of Hergest, these are the tales of the Mabinogi. Fourth episode of a new fantasy adventure series, based on the iconic work of medieval Welsh mythology.
Pryderi and Brigid head back to the Kingdom of Gwynedd in an attempt to persuade Bran the Blessed to rescue Princess Branwen.
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 (The Master and Margherita, Being Human, Vanity Fair) gives these stories a modern flavour while remaining true to the vivid magic of Celtic mythology.
