The Island of the Mighty

"A great adventure story from the pages of Celtic folklore in the Mabinogion." "One continuous adventure story, retold by a famous poet, from the hero tales of early Britain." -- two late 1924 newspaper advertisements by the publisher <br><br> "This new title in a series of classic myths and epic legends retold for young people is perhaps more valuable than some others, in that it covers less familiar ground, and possesses greater appeal for older readers as well. It is a careful and skilful attempt to rid the old Welsh stories of their structural weaknesses and uncouth names, while still retaining their original flavor and peculiar charm."; with brief introduction and a few notes by Colum --<i>The Globe</i> (Toronto) 1924-12-13 p6
