I used this book in a course on Celtic mythology and literature and found it to be an easy read. It included key works that were interesting and well translated. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Celtic history from the beginner to the more advanced scholar.

Review Quote
"This is a delightful and unusual book; delightful because the author wears his learning lightly, as he speculates about the nature of religious beliefs in early Ireland; and unusual, because its topic, theology in the broadest sense (the nature of God, man and the universe), is rarely broached among contemporary scholars of early Christian Ireland. ... Elegantly written and beautifully printed, this book is a welcome addition to the field of early Irish studies."

No Celtic Studies library is complete without it! Something to refer to time and again. Every time I open it, I find something new - and remarkably useful. Many thanks to John Koch and John Carey for creating this fantastic sourcebook.
