The Mammoth Book of Celtic Myths and Legends

Developed from an early oral storytelling tradition dating back to the dawn of European culture, this is one of the oldest and most vibrant of Europe's mythologies. From all six Celtic cultures — Irish, Scots, Welsh, Cornish, Manx, and Breton — Peter Berresford Ellis has included popular myths and legends, as well as bringing to light exciting new tales, which have been lying in manuscript form, untranslated and unknown to the modern general reader.

The author brings not only his extensive knowledge of source material but also his acclaimed skills of storytelling to produce an original, enthralling, and definitive collection of Celtic myths and legends.

These tales feature:

• Gods and goddesses
• Heroes and heroines
• Magical weapons
• Fabulous beasts
• Entities from the ancient Celtic world
