DescriptionsEdit Descriptions

"The purpose of the series is to set forth the basic myths, folk tales and rituals of various peoples, ancient and modern, in such a way that the vital relationship of the mythology to the society concerned will be evident. The authors, besides being recognized authorities of their subjects, also possess the gift of communicating to the general reader the dual nature of each mythology; its significance to those people whose religion it once was, and its timeless expression of human life and thought which makes it appeal as strongly to us who approach it from the outside." ('Celtic heritage', rear of d/w). (English, Member-written)
