This was a great introduction to Celtic mythology! Each story is pulled from old books now in the public domain, which was a massive plus for me. I read this book specifically for the Scottish tales, but I enjoyed them all. (But I especially enjoyed the Scottish tales.) If you're looking for a starting point in exploring Celtic folklore, this is a great place to start!
Ultimate thrift find of the day!🧡💙
Just arrived!!
pickThis was a fun little book. It‘s not hard to read. It could easily be a series of bedtime stories for children. None of them are long, but they all have magical elements. I wasn‘t very excited for the romance section at the end, but it actually wasn‘t bad. I quite enjoyed every part of this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys less common fairytales or Celtic culture.

I don‘t know why, but I really like this illustration.

More amazing art from this book. Every story get its own introductory illustration. It‘s great to go back and understand the different elements of each one after having read the related story.

@TheBookHippie I think it might be safe to take their word for it that the following stories actually ARE about the ocean. 🤣😂🤣

Since I‘m currently on a poetry kick, I like that an Irish poet get to be the “dedication.” lol

A fun read next. (On top of more HP and a new Shakespeare play starting Monday lol)
I‘m kind of annoyed that Kate Forester is listed as the author when she‘s the illustrator, but whatever.

So in continuing my Anthropology studies I am working on applying for a program in Ireland.
Any recommendations for books on Ireland's history, especially the Norman invasion?
@Avanders the rest of the gifts have shown up and they are breathtaking yet again! I absolutely love the journal, the old leather bound feel with blank pages, ah I just love it. And the cup is fantastic, I adore it so much and the book is going to be so much fun to read, I only know a few Celtic tales I can‘t wait to learn more! Thank you so much! #mythsandlegendsswap

My Mother-in-law, @Tawnya-T got me this scarf when she visited Ireland a few years ago. It has a beautiful #celtic design woven into it.

pickI absolutely adored this book! It's a very easy read, a collection of short stories from Ireland, Scotland, Brittany, and Wales. I brought this book up to the island and my dad read it to us by firelight. We all enjoyed the stories very much!
pickEnjoyable old-world tales, told in the traditional style. Who doesn't love a good fairy tale?
Book-buying bans be damned when a book this delightfully beautiful lands in your hands. #folktales
