enough to get you interested in the topic

but it doesn't dive as deeply into historical context or textual analysis as i was hoping for.

Mythology of the Celtic

This is surely the most comprehensive and well-written book about Celtic Mythology.The writer uses a rich diction, though simple enough to follow.Here, we learn how the Celtic Gods were shown, how they knew their names, what they describe.You will discover several relationships with other continent's mythology.If you have any issues or doubts about the Celtic myths, this is, no doubt, the best book to understand.

A Genuine Study on Celtic Myth and Religion

Excellent! Completely the best book presents on the subject, historically sound and great knowledge. The only strong favorite source out there with authentic data about these beliefs. In a market filled with books declaring to set forth the ancient traditions of the Celts, this book is out and makes the others obsolete.

Easy to follow.

Good over all summarized review on Celtics mythology. I came here to learn more about human sacrifice, but they didn't cover that in depth, but over all the book was good. The short stories were nice too.

Wow

Wow, what a wonderful summary. It is educational, compact, and treats the material in such an unusual way. First, then delivering facts at you, it gives lots of knowledge collectively to form of fact. what ancient history might have been alike.

This is a very very impressive book

I am deducting one star only because it didn't evoke the emotions in me that a well-written fiction does, but don't let that deter you. This is a very very impressive book and deserves to be listen and appreciated.

Good Information in a Confusing Manor

There was a lot of information in here but it was poorly organized. Also, Celtic pronociation was often wrong.
