This fourth and final ''branch'' of Walton's epic fantasy concludes the story begun in Prince of Annwn. This description may be from another edition of this product.
How sad that Walton's been forgotten after her moment of fame. Her tetralogy is one of the finest fantasy series in existence if not... just now... in print. The Island of the Mighty is the concluding volume and extremely episodic. The connecting thread is Gwydion, the Welsh prince/wizard/bard who appears in all three "episodes." Walton weaves them together better than the originals. This is definitely NOT the place to begin, if you are interested in Walton or Celtic legends. The best of the series is Song of Rhiannon. Walton's wonderfully understated feminism and paganism anticipate Bradley's pre-emption of the topic in Mists of Avalon.
