Prince of Annwn

Blurb

Prince of Annwn is a fantasy novel by Evangeline Walton, the fourth in a series of four based on the Welsh Mabinogion. Originally intended for publication by Ballantine Books as a volume of the celebrated Ballantine Adult Fantasy series, it actually saw print only after the series was discontinued. It was first published in paperback by Ballantine Books in November 1974. It has been reprinted a number of times since, and gathered together with Walton's other Mabinogion novels by Overlook Press as the omnibus The Mabinogion Tetralogy in 2002. The novel has also been published in translation in several European languages. The other three novels in the series are The Island of the Mighty, The Children of Llyr, and The Song of Rhiannon.
The novel is a retelling of the story of the First Branch of the Mabinogion, Pwyll Pendefig Dyfed, and hence is chronologically the first of Walton's Mabinogion novels, though published last.
