Rachel Bromwich: Trioedd Ynys Prydein

[Malcolm Martin]

Dear all

Having been away from this NG for some time - problems with my news server
to which I didn't have the time to try and find the answer - It may be that
you are aware of the following. But I couldn't see it on any messages so:

Rachel Bromwich's revised work on The Triads of Britain (general
acknowledged as the leading work on the subject) is finally due to be out on
25 November 2005. Having been promised it by University of Wales Press for
the last 4 or 5 years "next Spring", it is now coming out for Christmas.
Good timing. If you know of it, I need say no more, other than give the
internet and ISBN references (see below). If you do not, but are interested
in the early British (ie Welsh ) aspects of Arthur and others, or just in
early British stories and the process of their telling, then a book well,
well, worth getting. Bearing in mind the length of time we have had to wait
for this, I suggest that you get an order in now if you are interested - for
if this goes out of print (as the second edition did ) then it could be a
long, long, wait Anyway, makes a nice Christmas present from that person to
whom you never know the answer to their question "What would you like for
Christmas"

http://www.uwp.co.uk/book_desc/1386.html

approx. pp 768 Demy Octavo Hardback November 2005
ISBN-10 0-7083-1386-8
ISBN-13 978-0-7083-1386-2
Price £65 (= about $100?)

If any of you in the land of Tir-na-nog have difficulty in getting it, then
please let me know, and I will see what I can do to facilitate that. But I
suspect UWP will have outlets over the ocean.

Kind regards

$2.23 to the £1 - sounds good to me. Although I didn't realise how badly
your economy was doing............

Actual exchange rate at the moment is $1.74 to the U.K. Pound - Amazon
must be figuring in a fair profit. But no, the Dollar isn't as strong
as it once was.

Dear All

For those of you interested in aspects of the British (aka Welsh)
traditions:

- Bromwich's 3rd Edn has now arrived. Not so much like Harry Potter -
none of this queuing up at midnight - but finally, that telephone call from
my bookshop - and now it is in my hands. With the triads in Welsh and
English (and with variant readings) and Bromwich's notes on them. followed
by appendices and 245 pages of notes on the personal names found in the
Triads.

Enjoy

Kind reagrds
