There's a very nice kids' picture book of Culhwch and Olwen, called "The Quest for Olwen" (as if Culhwch was hard to spell, or say, or something...) in which the list of names is represented by a full page picture of Culhwch saying "I ask for help in the name of..." and the round table behind full of attentive knights, then another page with the word "and" and the table full of bored knights, and another page with the word "and" in which everyone is asleep, and then a page where they're all jerking awake as he yells the name of Arthur. I've often thought you could do a nice kids' picture book of just the names, with illustrations, as the names are so cool, but then I'm weird like that, (and also stole lots of the names for the Sulien books).
