Originally published in 1930, Kenneth Morris's superb Book of the Three Dragons is an imaginative reworking of elements from the Mabinogion and other Welsh Celtic stories, telling the story of Manawyddan, who is given the choice between immortality with the gods or preventing a new evil from destroying the Island of the Mighty. Manawyddan chooses the latter, and the novel tells of his adventures. Swiftly moving and dramatic, this is a book that lovers of modern fantasy and old hero tales alike cannot afford to miss.Perhaps most importantly for modern readers, for the first time Morris's unpublished ending amounting to onethird of the book's length is included in this new edition, telling what became of the hero, his wife, and their son.NOTE ON NEW SERIES: This is the first in our new line of fantasy fiction, which will feature both masterpieces no longer in print in the US as well as new works. The series will be edited by noted Tolkien scholar Douglas A. Anderson, whose previous books include The Annotated Hobbit (HM) and Tales Before Tolkien (Ballantine). Mr. Anderson will also write introductions to each book, providing context and background to enrich the reader's experience. The cover look and interior design will appeal to all demographics (especially younger fans under 30 who play computer fantasy games and love writers like Tolkien, Pratchett, and Pullman) with top artists creating a dazzling fantasy look.Quotes:'It is a singularly fine example of the recreation of a work magnificent in its own right (the 'Mabinogion') a literary event rather rare except in fantasy' Ursula Le Guin'Kenneth Morris was an important, innovative fantasist, worthy to rank with MacDonald, Eddison, and Tolkien.' Ursula Le Guin'Morris writes with all Lord Dunsany's richness, though his cadences are Celtic rather than biblical. This one should be read aloud.' review in the Feb. 2004 issue of Fantasy & Science Fiction magazine'Book of the Three Dragons is perhaps the single best fantasy adaptation from a realworldup0mythology (in this case, the Welsh Mabinogion), and the best of his tales' John Rateliff, review in the Sept. 2003 issue of Wizards of the Coast website (www.wizards.com), the #1 adventure gaming company in the world.
