Jackson is General Editor of The World's Greatest Myths and Legends series, with titles including 'Myths of Babylon', 'Indian Myth', 'Egyptian Myth', 'Norse Myth' and 'Polynesian Island Myth'. He is editor of 'Myths and Legends' and foreword writer for 'Celtic Myths and Tales'. Other related work includes articles on the Philosophy of Time, 'Macbeth, A Gothic Chaos' and William Blake's use of mythology in his visionary literature.

Sh穗 Morgain is an international Mabinogi expert. Her 35 years of love and research opens up the tales' secrets to a new generation, revealing new insights previously unknown. Like Charlotte Guest, she 'married in' to Wales, becoming a proudly honorary Welshwoman. She writes from two perspectives: academic scholar (Swansea University), and priestess (House of the Goddess, London). Her 'Mabinogi Study' website with its acclaimed 'Mabinogi Bibliography' has been nominated to the UK Web Archive as 'an important part of Wales' documentary heritage'.
