Celtic Lore & Legend: Meet the Gods, Heroes, Kings, Fairies, Monsters, and Ghosts of Yore

An Irish folklorist presents a collection of little-known ancient myths, fireside tales, and modern fictions to celebrate the Celtic art of storytelling.

Steeped in the oral traditions of rural Northern Ireland, Bob Curran celebrates the lore and legends of his people. This volume includes some of the oldest tales to be passed down across the centuries, as well as newer stories inspired by these Celtic roots.

Celtic Lore & Legend includes tales of the heroes and gods from the Great Myth Cycles as well as stories of witches, ghosts, and fairies. 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 seventeenth century.
