Tales of heroic knights, love, dragon fights & giants…no this isn’t Game of Thrones, it’s the Mabinogion! A collection of Welsh medieval tales- It’s thanks to the remarkable antiquarian & collector Lady Charlotte Guest (later Schreiber) that these stories were rediscovered & translated in the 1830s
