Description

Now back in print for the first time in many years is one of the most comprehensive studies of Celtic mythology; legend; and poetry ever written; presenting the entire enthralling panorama of the mythical and legendary traditions of the ancient Gaelic and British Celts. Here; in clear; compact; readable form are stories of all the chief characters of Celtic myth: the Gaelic gods and the giants they battled; the "Champions of the Red Branchy" of Ulster; heroes of the great "Irish Iliad;" Finn and the Fenians; and the gods and heroes of the ancient Britons; down through the great deeds of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. You will find the original adventures of such great heroes and heroines as Cuchulainn; Diarmait; Conan; Ossian; Emer; Dierdre; Rhiannon; and Bran. These legendary figures and their epics of magic and might greatly influenced the writings of such authors as Lord Dunsany; E.R. Eddison; J.R.R. Tolkien; Kenneth Morris; and Robert E. Howard.
