Jackanory: Taliesin: 'The Magic Cauldron'

on BBC One London

by Robert Nye
with Ray Smith
Gwion never meant to taste the bubbling liquid in the magic cauldron, but three drops accidentally fell on his hand and he licked them off. From then on he was possessed with strange powers and became a poet called Taliesin.
Ray Smith returns to Jackanory to tell this very old Welsh legend.
