The Prince and the Highwayman
註釋In the wilds of North Wales, some legends never die...A highwayman stalks his quarry along the mountain roads, a witch communes with nature in her cottage in the forest, and a prince without a principality searches for something to occupy his time. Life goes on, just as it has for hundreds of years.But one man has come to realise that there could be value in these 'living legends', and twists the old myths to gain money and power. In the process, he threatens not only the old way of life, but the very existence of these legends, who must form an uneasy alliance to protect themselves and the country that they hold so dear.Packed with bandits, rogues, witches and mountain-fighters, The Prince & The Highwayman draws delightfully on a number of traditional Welsh folk tales, repackaging them for a new generation while echoing its own narrative of keeping the legends alive.
