Three Celtic Tales by Moyra Caldecott

Three Celtic Tales by Moyra Caldecott

Three Celtic Tales is a compilation of three traditional Welsh folk tales, drawn from the Mabinogion and retold by Moyra Caldecott.

The Twins of the Tylwyth Teg is based on the well-known story of a herd boy who marries a faery from under the lake. Before her father will allow her to marry him, however, he has to choose between her and her identical twin sister.

Taliesin and Avagddu is based on the tale from the Welsh Mabinogion. Ceridwen brews up a cauldron of magic to give her misshapen son Avagddu extraordinary wisdom, but the village boy who is employed to stir the cauldron sips it instead and becomes the greatest prophet and bard of all time: Taliesin.

Bran, Branwen and Evnissyen is based on a story from the Mabinogion about the war between mainland Britain and Ireland in mythic times. Evnissyen, the bitter and disgruntled half-brother of Bran, the Blessed, stirs up trouble that almost destroys both nations.

Caldecott, Moyra: - Moyra Caldecott was born in Pretoria, South Africa in 1927, and moved to London in 1951 where she married Oliver Caldecott and raised three children. She earned degrees in English and Philosophy and an M.A. in English Literature. Moyra died in 2015, a few days before her 88th birthday. Moyra Caldecott earned a reputation as a novelist who wrote as vividly about the adventures and experiences to be encountered in the inner realms of the human consciousness as she did about those in the outer physical world. To Moyra, reality is multi-dimensional.
