The eighth installment in the ,New Stories from the Mabinogion, seriesÂ transforms a classicÂ taleÂ into a modern Quixotian romp. The original Peredur tale recounts the adventures of a youth bent on recognition as a knight in King Arthurâ€™s court. In true questing fashion, he defends maidens, defeats giants, and eventually overcomes the witches who have cursed him. Hoping to save him from the same fate as his father and brothersâ€”dead, jailed, or missingâ€”Peredurâ€™s mother takes him from the estates. But the world wonâ€™t be held at bay in this version; when local kids cycle into his life, he follows.
