The Mabinogion

The Mabinogion (Charlotte Guest) is set up as one continuous listen: cover, runtime, and a chapter list on the same page.

The Mabinogion, the earliest literary jewel of Wales, is a collection of ancient tales and legends compiled around the 12th and 13th century deriving from storytelling and the songs of bards handed down over the ages. It is a remarkable document in many ways. From an historical perspective, it is the earliest prose literature of Britain. But it is in its drama that many surprises await, not least the central role of King Arthur, his wife, Gwenhwyvar, and his court at Caerlleon upon Usk.

That is the whole offer: the full recording, a chapter index, and a player that does not ask you to sign up.
