Epigraph
Dedication
First words
[Foreword] "What land is better than this island of the setting sun?" asks the hero Amergin as he lands on the shore of Ireland, the first mortal figure in Celtic mythology to set foot on Irish soil.
[Preface] This book is what its author believes to be the only attempt yet made to put the English reader into possession, in clear, compact, and what it is hoped may prove agreeable, form, of the mythical, legendary, and poetic traditions of the earliest inhabitants of our islands who have left us written records - the Gaelic and the British Celts.
It should hardly be necessary to remind the reader of what profound interest and value to every nation are its earliest legendary and poetical records.

Disambiguation notice
Mythology of the Celtic People and Celtic Myth and Legend (with varying subtitles) are the same book issued under different titles. I suspect some of the other titles on this author's page may be further variants.
