For several centuries, the Celts were the most powerful people of Central and Northern Europe. With the expansion of the Roman Empire and, later, the Christianization of these lands, the Celts were forced to move to northwestern Spain, France, and the British Isles. But they retained their ancient mythology and beliefs. Celtic myths and legends were later written down and infiltrated other cultures. From Roman and Christian scribes we know such figures as Morrigan, who could change her appearance from cow to wolf, and the hero Cuchulin, who, after receiving a mortal wound, tied himself with his own entrails to a rock to die standing up. Celtic legends are fascinating in their own right, but they are also interesting for their influence on the mythology of other nations. The story of the Holy Grail cup first appeared in medieval romances, but it dates back to the Celtic cycle of the Mabinogion. Michael Kerrigan's book is a fascinating story that takes us into the enchanting world of Celtic legends, heroes, deities, monsters, and supernatural beings. Rich illustrative material helps the reader to better visualize the stories the author tells.
