| Description: |
This is a re-telling of the most popular or significant myths of the Celts, with stories from most of the countries where Celts settled. The myths include "Bran and Branwen" from Wales, "Wooing of Elan" from Ireland, "Red Shield" from Scotland, and "Marriage of Sir Gwain" from England. |
| Synopsis: |
."..Not an academic translation but a collection of tales that are retold with lavish illustrations. Stewart selected the Celtic stories from collections and manuscripts, interpretations and reworkings of Celtic myths, and traditional ballads and tales.... These are hard-edged stories that illustrate the cruelty of an early people, but they are also fanciful and lovely. The author's retelling of these stories is very poetic and beautiful. Recommended."-- "LJ. 176 pages (11 in color), 40 b/w illus., 7 1/2 x 9 3/4. |
