Perhaps the best retelling of the Celtic 'Mabinogion' legend, now in print again in the US for the first time in two generations - and featuring the author's never-before-published ending! Originally published in 1930, Kenneth Morris's superb Book of the Three Dragons is an imaginative reworking of elements from the Mabinogion and other Welsh Celtic stories, telling the story of Manawyddan, who is given the choice between immortality with the gods or preventing a new evil from destroying the Island of the Mighty. Manawyddan chooses the latter, and the novel tells of his adventures. Swiftly moving and dramatic, this is a book that lovers of modern fantasy and old hero tales alike cannot afford to miss. This is the first in our new line of fantasy fiction, which will feature both masterpieces no longer in print as well as new works. The series will be edited by noted Tolkien scholar Douglas A. Anderson, whose previous books include The Annotated Hobbit and Tales Before Tolkien. Mr. Anderson will also write introductions to each book, providing context and background to enrich the reader's experience.
The cover look and interior design will appeal to all demographics Among the best-loved fantasy writers, Morris has been compared to Tolkien and other fantasy greats.
