| celt classic |
Celtic Myths and Legends, by T.W. Rolleston © 1917. Mr. Rolleston does not tell the stories of the ancient Celts; rather he tells about them. The stories are presented in capsulized form. He shows each story's importance relative to the Celtic culture as a whole. |

| well done |
Celtic Fairy Tales, by Joseph Jacobs © 1994. This is sort of a Grimm's Fairy Tales for Celtic countries. |
|
| solid reference |
Dictionary of Celtic Mythology, by Peter Berresford Ellis © 1992. This book's strength is that you can look up any reference to a Celtic place or person and get a concise description. |

| solid reference |
Myth, Legend, and Romance: An Encyclopedia of the Irish Folk Tradition,
by Dr. Daithi O hOgain (No, this is not a typo. This is how his name is spelled on
the book cover.) © 1991. The entries in this tome are somewhat less concise -- but much more informative -- than those in the Dictionary of Celtic Mythology. |
