Book Excerpt: 
. . .So Rhiannon sent for the teachers and the wise men, and as she preferred doing penance to contending with the women, she took upon her a penance. And the penance that was imposed upon her was that she should remain in that palace of Narberth until the end of seven years, and that she should sit every day near unto a horse-block that was without the gate; and that she should relate the story to all who should come there whom she might suppose not to know it already; and that she should offer the guests and strangers, if they would permit her, to carry them upon her back into the palace. But it rarely happened that any would permit. And thus did she spend part of the year.

Great takes of tales

It was a great addition for anyone who loved a good read. I love to relax to more of my grandparents lore. Thanks

A good continuation of the first volume, though some of the stories are more convoluted and difficult to follow.
