Description

The Celtic race has had a surprisingly formative influence in the history, literature, and art of the inhabitants of the British Isles. It is for the Anglo-Celtic, not Anglo-Saxon, people that this account of the early history, religion, and literature of the Celtic race is written, but the stories included are fascinating for readers from any background. Newly designed and typeset in a modern 6-by-9-inch format by Waking Lion Press.

This is a pretty darn swell book. It gives some history of the Celtic peoples starting with ancient times and speculating on their interactions and pre-historic culture. Later it gives other details on the mythic histories of various Celtic cultures as well as various mythic and legendary cycles.
