Celtic Myths, Celtic Legends
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The first thing that struck me about this book was the pictures. Picture books are always fun; this one doesn't overdo the pictures while keeping enough that the lines of text don't overwhelm you. Most of the stories are easy to read, but a few do get tedious. This probably isn't the best book for getting someone interested in Celtic mythology, but for someone already interested this is a wonderful book.
Then and now

The author brings ancient Celtic mythology to the modern reader, and Sterart's voice is clearly present in the book. Illustrations of artifacts mingle with bold representations of legendary heroic figures. Liberties are taken with the tale of Merlin the Prophet, which may or may not appeal to the purist at heart. If the reader is at all familiar with this wonderful and rich era of oral tradition, "Celtic Myths and Legends" will be a welcome addition to the bookshelf. A more definitive and traditional volume would appeal to the newcomer, perhaps.
