I'd forgotten Gormenghast! I've read that and almost enjoyed it. It's so weird though.
Gormenghast was on television a couple of years ago. It had Christopher Lee playing Flay.
A great series of fantasy novels that were inspired by the Mabinogion are Lloyd Alexander's "The Chronicles of Prydain."
Great read. My father read them to me when I was very young. I re-read them not long ago and was pleased to still find them wonderful.
