Today's letter is M
M is for
MABINOGION
The MABINOGION is a collection of very early Welsh legends and folk-tales.
Two of the above books are beautifully illustrated.
One of them is in Welsh.
I'll pick just one of these, sit down, and drink a nice
Mug of Mocha
For more ABC Wednesday participants, visit Mrs Nesbit.
Don't forget to read her post - it's hilarious!
Happy Wednesday!

It´s intresting with folk-tales! And if you can drink a cup of good coofee at the same time that will perhaps be double effect!
Legend and folk-tales are always very interesting. I think we should have much to learn out of them today.
I've heard of these tales and known about them for a long time but never actually got round to reading them.
Great Ms. I've never read the Mabinogion but I am familiar with some tales. (I think!)
Great mug too!
What an excellent M choice.
Makes me want to curl up with the books & the cuppa.
I would love that mug. The coffee looks good but the slogan is even better!!
So interesting with folk tales:) I love your mug:D

Love your M-post!
Aahh... folklores are the best! :) There are beautiful ones here in Brazil as well... I don't think I know any Welsh tales, though. Gonna research at the net about it. Hope you enjoyed your reading & mug of Mocha! Kisses from Nydia, Miss Dragon.
Ha! Love the inscription on the mug!!
I have never heard of Mabinogion, I expect you treasure those books. The mug of coffee looks good!
I guess you will have many more pleasent moments with those books and a mug of mocha. :)

Super choices ! I was all ready anxious to read one of those legends the way you wrote the post. I almost had my feet up and ready to scroll thru the story!
Wonderful to maintain your cultural heritage.
That book is a collector's item!
What a great M choice.
I'd love to sit down with a mug of mocha and look through the illustrations in that beautiful book!
The books are beautiful. The Welsh have the loveliest illuminated books and old manuscripts.
I love your mug too. It says it all.
those books look very interesting! and I love the message on your mug. EXCELLENT M's
Marvellous ideas!
The Mabinogion tales were important in the culture of Britain (Bretagne)
In Britain and Normandy , mugs are used to drink cider .

I love the mug. Isn't that the truth!!!
Your books are beautiful. I love books and have way too many! And the mug is perfect....I think the message on it is great!!
Shalom.
Dragons! Welsh! Wow.
How many people there still speak Welsh? Is it taught in school?
What an unusual M choice. Looks great - like the look of the mocha too. Thanks for dropping by my place.

I love the mug. That is so true.
Oh I have the one on the right too :-) It has some lovely artwork in it doesn't it?
Very dragonlike pics :-D! I like them. It took a little while to read what´s on that cup...
bet there would be some great dolls that could be made from some of the illustrations..... hmmmm.........
mmmm... cocoa.... think I'll make me a big mugga to sip whilst cleaning my pantry.... it will take long enough that I might even need a muffin to go with........ okay...lunch time!
I visited Wales in 2002 and I was impressed by the way the Welsh people had cared for and restored their old culture.
Thank you for your nice comment:)

Legend and folk-tales are always very interesting.
Marvellous - that mug made me smile! Do you speak Welsh then?
Bora da!
Sorry if that's spelt wrong - excuse my ignorance of such a lovely sounding language. :(
Really liked your M post. Never heard of the books before. It was cute. Thanks for your comments on mine.
PS. I think you should win something for having something odd and original as the books.
mocha, good to have one. :)
Ahh, a nice cup of mocha to enjoy the Mabinogion. The saying on your cup is funny.
Thank you for commenting on my mailboxes. Your husband is correct, the 2nd one is a femalebox. Haha!

I love Legends and Folk-Tales. I need to read more of them!!

A good read and a drink to go along with it!
A lovely book collection and the inscription on the mug made me smile.
Ok I have to ask, what is it with the dragons? This is from soneone who lives on an island where we talk to fairies for good luck( even though i'm a brummie. So you've been to the Isle Of Man then. Think we are fresh out of dragons, but if i see any..
Bt w inspired choices for M,and sorry for not responding earlier but the fairy folk have been disrupting the server here. I shall return.
