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. Show Less

A good, enjoyable, colorful (as in the pictures and art-work depicted) book! I definitely recommend this if you have a thing for the ancient (and modern) Celts!
