This review is from: The Illustrated Guide to Celtic Mythology (Hardcover)
At 141 pages, with a lot of full color pictures/illustrations, this is more a picture book of celtic mythology than anything else. While the major myths are touched on: The Irish Invasion Myths, the early Milesian Kings, Tales of the Ultonian Cycle, Tales of the Ossianic Cycle, The Voyage of Maeldun, Myths and Tales of the Cymry, and the Arthurian Saga this book gives little more than a flavor of each story. The illustrations, pictures of places or ancient artifacts are usually relevant to the story on the page the picture appears on. The authors have also made every effort to cite the book where each illustration is from or which museum each artifact was photographed from, but the stories themselves have no source citations. You are left wanting for more after reading this book. However, with no bibliography, one wonders where the stories were lifted from, and more importantly where to continue your new found interest after reading this book.
