The Celts are a mysterious people who invaded numerous countries in Western Europe centuries before Christ. They left behind a diverse heritage, including a rich treasure of myths and fairy tales. Daring heroes from the circle of King Arthur inhabit this cosmos, as do fairies and mythical creatures that live in another world. The Celtic fairy tales are like their imagery: grotesque and fabulous, intricately intertwined to the point of opulence. This volume gathers tales from Ireland, Wales, Cornwall, Scotland, and the French Brittany.
