"Knightly Legends of Wales; or, The Boy's Mabinogion" by Sidney Lanier is a collection of ancient Welsh tales centered around the legendary figure of King Arthur, likely written in the late 19th century. This compilation aims to bring forth the earliest tales of the Mabinogion, presenting action-packed adventures and chivalric themes catering specifically to a young audience. With vibrant characters such as King Arthur and the noble knights of his court, the book invokes a sense of wonderment and honor through its classic narratives. The opening of the collection introduces readers to the context of the Mabinogion, emphasizing its roots in the 14th-century manuscript known as The Red Book of Hergest. Lanier provides an engaging introduction that underscores the significance of these tales, presenting them as fragments of Welsh culture that shape notions of heroism and chivalry. In the narrative, we meet King Arthur resting in his chamber, where his companions, including Owain and Kai, engage in storytelling—a ritual that sets the stage for the legendary adventures and moral dilemmas that will unfold throughout the book. This lively start entices readers with a taste of Arthurian legend, promising an exploration of the fascinating interplay between bravery, magic, and the age-old quest for honor.
