A great series of fantasy novels that were inspired by the Mabinogion are Lloyd Alexander's "The Chronicles of Prydain."

Oh...my...goodness! Someone else other than me and the friends I've forced to read them hs read the Chronicles of Prydain?! *jaw drops*
Okay, I'm not an Anne McCaffrey fan much these days, she really bugs me now, but I'll say this: when she and Elizabeth Scarbourgh team up they can spin a good yarn! I highly recommend "Powers That Be", "Power Lines" and "Power Play". It's a trilogy about a sentient planet. Very spiffy.
And Jane Yolen's "Sister Light, Sister Dark" was awesome. "White Jenna" was good, too, but not as good. And the Pit Dragon trilogy just rocked! Oo! Can't forget James Gurney's "Dinotopia" (boy, I hope Hallmark doesn't kill it when they make a tv movie).
"The Last Unicorn" is going to be live action?! Wow... *faints* [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
