Prince of Annwn

This book is the beginning of a tetralogy written by an American unassuming lover of fantasy and especially the Welsh collection of mythological tales called the Mabinogion. Walton wrote four books retelling the Mabinogion, but only the last was published at the time and it didn't fare well. However, when fantasy grew in popularity in the 70s, that book was rediscovered. A publisher searched for Walton and found her in seclusion in Arizona. They found out she had three other books written and all four were published. She gained fame for the work, being called by many one of the greatest fantasies ever. This book was nominated for the 1975 Mythopoeic Award.
