Loading... Myths and Legends of the Celtic Race (1911)by T. W. Rolleston
None. Interesting collection. Good subject matter -- naturally, in my opinion -- and some illustrations. Can't remember much else about it by now, though. Will keep it around to dip into: might be a good source of the germs of some stories. ( )This is a pretty darn swell book. It gives some history of the Celtic peoples starting with ancient times and speculating on their interactions and pre-historic culture. Later it gives other details on the mythic histories of various Celtic cultures as well as various mythic and legendary cycles. I found the details chosen by the author intriguing and the stories engaging. Heartily recommended for anyone interested in the subject. part of my heritage so well loved no reviews | add a review
