Celtic Legends: Heroes and Warriors, Myths and Monsters (Histories) Review: Five Stars - Arrived in great condition! Review: Excellent Survey - This is a generous, even-handed, and eminently readable survey. The introductory sketch of the history of the Celts is helpful as a stage setting frame. Understandably we direct a great deal of attention to Irish myth, but Wales also figures heavily in the narrative. The rest of Celtic Britain receives more of just a brief nod. In addition to recounting actual tales there is an effort by the author to set the treatment of the stories in an historical context, especially toward the end of the book. Kerrigan is a gracious narrator who capably mixes storytelling, some academic background, and personal appreciation and reflection in a fashion that engages, entertains, and informs. A very satisfying basic introduction.
