Very few myths

This is more of a history of Celtic mythology & not an actual book of myths. Its informative & interesting but not what I thought it was going to be.

Very fascinating

This is fascinating stuff, as it goes over certain creatures and the Celtic history that relates to their myths. One story was very long in particular, but I was okay with that. It was nice to listen to.

Recommend this

I recommend this because it goes over the main aspects of Irish and Celtic mythology. I was impressed with the narrator, and I really enjoyed listening to it.

Educational audiobook

A good primer of Celtic Folklore. It starts out with their most famous stories and ends with an education on the Celts, Druids, etc. Also well organized and easy to follow...unlike another audiobook on Celtic Mythology that I had to return. Highly recommended.

Ooooh this is good

These kinds of stories are so intriguing. I love the Celtic historical background and the stories that came from that part of the world. Forget Greek mythology. This stuff is even more fascinating.

I love things like this

The mythology from around the world we know, is very limited. The Celts had their own set of gods, elves, myths, and folklore stories. This book does a great job showing those.

last 30 minutes repeat different versions of tales

Seems more tale oriented than focusing on structure, deities, and historical beliefs. Narrator stumbled at times restarting sentences were left in I don't know why this wasn't simply edited out?

poor narration, misleading description.

this book sounded like trying to listen to television through a wall. the description says "Dive into the world of fairies, goddesses, heroes, giants, and Selkies" but 2 hours into the book we're still hearing the life stories of Finn and Dermot.

I was really hoping to get more fae lore and the Fomor.

Read like the last book report before recess.

The stories are common if you’ve ever toured Ireland.
If you haven’t been, go to hear these stories! It’s better with an accent and the Irish are amazing story tellers!!
