Celtic Fairy Tales and Legends
Rosalind Kerven
Description
The Celtic cultures of the British Isles – Ireland, Scotland and Wales – have produced some of the richest traditional tales in Europe. Three words best sum up their themes and flavour: adventure, enchantment and romance. Rosalind Kerven has revived the best Celtic fairy tales for a new generation.
The stories are sourced from old folk tale collections from all three regions, alongside selected medieval Welsh and Irish texts. Each story is retold from the medieval texts and oral storytelling traditions of Ireland, Scotland and Wales, with fascinating background notes and a long list of sources and further reading included. The background notes feature a list of source material, analyses of themes, and examples of similar legends from all over Europe.
