Reseña del editor:

This book includes tales of the heroes and gods from the Great Myth Cycles as well as tales of witches, ghosts, and fairies. It is an examination and celebration of the tradition of storytelling. This is the first anthology to seek out and record the traditions from many parts of the Western Celtic world--Ireland, Cornwall, Scotland, Wales, and Brittany--from as early as the 17th century.
