Jackson is General Editor of The World's Greatest Myths and Legends series, with titles including 'Myths of Babylon', 'Indian Myth', 'Egyptian Myth', 'Norse Myth' and 'Polynesian Island Myth'. He is editor of 'Myths and Legends' and foreword writer for 'Celtic Myths and Tales'.

Her ‘Mabinogi Study’ website with its acclaimed ‘Mabinogi Bibliography’ has been nominated to the UK Web Archive as 'an important part of Wales’ documentary heritage'.
