This review is from: Irish Legends (Hardcover)

This is a good book for those people interested in a brief, overview of Celtic Mythology. It's not a particularly scholarly approach to the topic -- those seeking a more critical analysis of Celtic legends should probably look elsewhere. But for people looking for something informative, entertaining, and attractively packaged, this is a fine choice.
