The Celtic Myths A Guide to the Ancient Gods and Legends by Miranda Aldhouse-Green introduces the world of the Celts, their gods and goddesses, heroes, monsters and villains.
As well as vividly exploring the tales, the author brings her expertise in the archaeology of the Iron Age and particularly shamanism to bear on the mythical worlds she describes, with evidence as diverse as the Gundestrup Cauldron and the famous bog bodies.
Starting with a discussion of how myths are transmitted and by whom, the author continues with an account of the Irish and Welsh myths.
