Rooted in a longstanding tradition of oral storytelling, Celtic mythology emerges as one of the most ancient and dynamic mythologies in all of Europe. Embracing the narratives from the six distinct Celtic cultures—Irish, Scots, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, and Breton—this collection curated by Peter Berresford Ellis encompasses both well-known myths and legends and tales that have long remained concealed in untranslated manuscripts.Through these cherished stories, the book sheds light on the beliefs, values, and cosmology of the Celtic peoples, revealing their intricate relationships with the natural world, gods, heroes, and other supernatural beings. (This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
