Title: The Mabinogion Tetralogy by Evangeline Walton, Betty Ballantine ISBN: 1-58567-241-6 Publisher: Overlook Press Pub. Date: 13 May, 2002 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $35.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (6 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Breath Taking!
Comment: Ms. Walton does an incredible job of taking Welsh Mythology and breathing life into it making it a novel of unsurpassed proportions. You encounter hidden lessons that actually sent shivers through me. This book by no means should replace the Mabinogion's translation by Lady Charlotte, which is a more literal translation. However, Ms. Walton provides insight to the myths and is quite inspiring in doing so. This book just might change your life in some ways.

Summary: Matter is an A+; manner D-
Comment: This might very well be *most* poorly edited book I've ever purchased. Miss Walton's novels are wonderful, in every sense of that word; they rate 5 stars. The volume, though, merits no stars at all, thus my average of 2 stars. The book is utterly laden with distracting and misleading errors of all sorts. Words that make no sense in context substituted for what I know (having read the much better Ballantine paperback editions, years ago, and simply knowing the tales) should be there; whole passages repeated out of sequence. And I'm only some 50 pages into it! Overlook needs to fire whoever purported to edit this thing, and apologize to its customers...and to the memory of Evangeline Walton.

Summary: A Classic
Comment: Evangeline Walton's retelling of the Mabinogion cycle should be in every Pagan's library. Keeping true to the historical sources, she has managed to craft a view of the world before the influx of Christianity and the subsequent coloring of traditional lore. It is a joy and delight to see this collection back in print!
