Celtic Mythology (Mythology Around the World)

By Corona Brezina

With a strong warrior tradition, Celtic mythology is dominated by tales of courageous combatants and their great feats, and tribal life filled with hunting and feasting. These myths and legends are placed within a context of history, archaeology, religion, folk beliefs, and culture, that both explains and enhances their meaning. Dozens of full-color images, many of them drawn from tapestries, wood cuts, manuscripts, and artifacts illuminate the rich storytelling.
