Celtic Mythology : Tales of Gods Goddesses and Heroes

Most people have heard of the Celts, the elusive, ancient tribal people who resided in present-day England, Ireland, Scotland and France. Paradoxically characterized as both barbaric and innocent, the Celts appeal to the modern world as a symbol of a bygone era, a world destroyed by the ambition of empire and the spread of Christianity throughout Western Europe. This book brings together some of the best known stories on Celtic mythology.
