Local notes

A curse is placed on young prince Culhwch by his jealous stepmother; he can only marry Olwen, the beautiful daughter of the King of the Giants. Culhwch enlists the help of his cousin King Arthur to find Olwen, but the Giant sets Culhwch a series of well-nigh impossible tasks which must be accomplished before the marriage can take place. Culhwch's quest for the tusk of the King Boar and the blood of the Black Witch is aided by Arthur's knights and the wisdom of ancient animals.
