Explore the living world of Celtic myths, tracing old legends as they transformed through romance and Christianity into lasting stories.
This scholarly but readable volume surveys Celtic mythology from Ireland and Wales and, where possible, connects insular myths with continental roots. It explains how myths were handed down, altered, or lost when Roman influence and later Christian thought reshaped belief. The book also discusses how the myths survive today in folklore, verse, and tradition, offering readers a clear window into ancient Celtic thought and storytelling.
