T. W. Rolleston's lengthy compendium of Celtic mythology and
ancient lore is a wide-ranging source scarcely paralleled.
Painstakingly assembled from years of research into the surviving
manuscripts, this exceptional collection of Celtic stories dating
to earliest antiquity is as formidable, valid and impressive today
as it was on publication in 1911. An ambitious and embracing work,
Myths and Legends of the Celtic Race offers up a rare combination
of historical insight and lively storytelling. Rolleston explains
each and every myth in a simple but salient manner. The stories are
summarized, and an explanation of their significance in terms of
plot devices, tone, and the wider Celtic culture explained. Rather
than be bogged down in dry or overly ponderous narratives, the
author breezes through the vast body of work, providing accurate
summaries which seldom feel dull or impenetrable.
