PREFACE: This book is what its authors believes to be the only
attempt yet made to put the English reader into possession, in
clear, compact, and what it is hoped may prove agreeable, form, of
the mythical, legendary, and poetic traditions of the early
inhabitants of our islands who have left us written records - the
Gaelic and the British Celts...... This early, illustrated works is
a fascinating and detailed study of the subject and will appeal
greatly to any historian or student. Many of the earliest books,
particularly those dating back to the 1900's and before, are now
extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing
these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions,
using the original text and artwork.
A study of the survival of primal Celtic shamanism in later
folk-traditions of Gaelic speaking peoples. This is an insightful
and intelligent academic study that brings together areas of study
not normally combined in an accessible style.
