I really enjoyed reading these myths, it was a great blend of stories that were a good length for bedtime. I wasn't a huge fan of the illustrations, though, so I'll be looking around for another set before I decide which one to buy.
A collection of fifteen Celtic myths: Odin, Green Man, Little Fawn, Wee Johnny's Revenge, etc... all illustrated (although I didn't love the illustrations). This could be a little dark for students, such as the tale of Wee Johnny's Revenge. This book does have an pronunciation guide.
Classroom:
Introduction to mythology or Celtic mythology. Possibly pair with another collection of mythology from different culture and compare/contrast the stories.
