I took my time over this book, partly because of the large format but mostly because of the detailed illustrations accompanying the text. As in other volumes of this Time-Life series, it is the photographs that make this such an interesting book. The authors cover the history of the ancient Celts and the legends and myths of the various groups that made up the Celtic peoples, including an overview of the Arthurian legends. Recommended as an introduction to Celtic myth.
