A Celtic Reader

Summary

From the rich array of history, religion, myth, and story that makes up the Celtic tradition comes this broad-based collection of materials, dating from the earliest eras of the written word to 19th and 20th-century scholarship and investigation. Tales of adventure, magic, mystery, and wonder from pre-Christian Ireland and Arthurian Britain interweave with ancient fables, poetry, excerpts from THE MABINOGION, historical investigations into the ancient past, and modern adaptations of ancient themes.
