It's perhaps the only time a simplified mythology hasn't annoyed the living daylights out of me, and perhaps only because I read the Prydain Chronicles before the Mabinogion (or The Owl Service), and only later matched up the characters with their original roles; but for whatever reason, it's never interfered with my liking for the books. And at least Alexander warns the reader that he has altered the mythology rather.
