Taliesin has always fascinated me. I read a few of his poems, and bit about him, when I was in college. I took a class in Anglo-Saxon, and was a bit intrigued by all the various related languages in England, Ireland, Scotland and other nearby places. Dialects, too. So interesting, I was excited to see this book. I enjoyed reading about what was known of Taliesin, he's more myth than historical figure to me. I know he was a great bard, but hadn''t read much by him until this book. Nice collection of his works with lots of info about him and the history of his age.
It's well written and an easy read, so even a general reader of poetry could appreciate this book. Kudos authors!

Lovely blend of history and poetry for an incredibly important figure in Welsh literature and myth. I really enjoyed the accessible nature of the book -- particularly the translations.
