“As with its companion Mabon and the Guardians of Celtic Britain, I have found King Arthur and the Goddess of the Land to be essential reading. No other study takes the reader through the Mabinogion more masterfully. This book is an indispensable guide to indigenous Celtic literature and myth.” * Ari Berk, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Mythology and Folklore, Central Michigan University *
