Synopsis

If you think you've heard all the fairy tales out there, think again. Inside this book you will find eleven epic Celtic tales from long ago, but not so far away, that are bound to enchant you.  The Mab  is a collection full to the brim with brand new versions of really, really old stories from the  Mabinogi  – maybe the oldest written-down stories in the history of Britain.
But as well as being really, really old, the stories in  The Mab  are strange and funny and thrilling. Alive with mystery and magic, they speak of a time when the gates between the Real World and the Otherworld were occasionally left open. And sometimes, just sometimes, it was possible to step through.
The stories in this illustrated edition have been reimagined by an extraordinary team of writers, and each appears alongside a Welsh-language translation from Bethan Gwanas. Those writers are Matt Brown and Eloise Williams, who have also edited this book, plus Sophie Anderson, P.G.Bell, Zillah Bethell, Darren Chetty, Wales Children's Laureate Nicola Davies, Claire Fayers, Hanan Issa, Rhian Tracey and Alex Wharton. The awesome illustrations are by Max Low!

    "How much longer do you think we'll have to wait?" Tilly Carpenter asked rather questioningly, with her fingers crossed and some degree of impatience.
    
    She had never been any good at waiting around for something to happen! But this was one thing that no one was able to speed up; it would simply happen when Brownie was ready, and not before… no matter what Tilly did in the poor attempt to hurry things along.
    
    "I'm not sure," Coral Johnson shrugged in answer. "But Dad thinks it will be soon. Maybe one or two more days?"
    
    "At least we're on spring break, so it doesn't really matter." Tilly sighed in exasperation. "We're going to be here at Saddlers Ranch as much as we can until then. Right, Lexie?"
    
    "Absolutely!" Lexie Howard nodded in avid agreement. "And afterwards too, don't forget."
    
    "Of course," Tilly seemed almost affronted by the suggestion that she might not have remembered. "How could I forget! Brownie's standing right in front of us, and she's grown so much that it looks like she really did swallow another horse!"
    
    "Mares always have protruding bellies when they're in foal." Coral explained, chuckling slightly.
    
    "Yes, I know. But not that much, surely?" Tilly stuttered. "She's huge!"
