About the book:

Alongside the tragic legend surrounding King Arthur’s mother, Against the Faerie Queene crafts its narrative from little-known Welsh Celtic tales, such as the great boar hunt of “Culhwch and Olwen”, the haunting riddles of “The Son of Llyr”, and the journey for redemption of “Peredur the Son of Efrawg”.
