Transcribed from the 1902 T. Fisher Unwin edition by David Price "The Mabinogion Vol. 1" by Sir Owen Morgan Edwards and Lady Charlotte Schreiber is a collection of ancient Welsh tales, transcribed from the Red Book of Hergest, and likely written in the mid-19th century. This volume comprises several enchanting stories that explore themes of chivalry, adventure, and mystical elements centered around legendary figures such as King Arthur and his knights. The narratives feature characters like Owain and Peredur, who embark on quests rife with challenges, supernatural encounters, and romantic elements. The opening of the collection begins with an introduction that reflects on Lady Charlotte Guest's contribution to making these tales accessible to English-speaking audiences. It highlights that the stories retain their charm despite some loss in translation. Following the introduction, the first story, "The Lady of the Fountain," unfolds with King Arthur and his noble companions at Caerlleon upon Usk. The narrative follows Owain, who seeks glory and adventure, ultimately leading him to a mysterious fountain guarded by a formidable knight. His journey involves trials that test his valor and reveals his longing for honor, culminating in romantic entanglements and battles that define his character development. This opening segment sets the stage for the rich tapestry of exploits and folklore that characterize "The Mabinogion."
