Complete Guide to Celtic Mythology

Complete Guide to Celtic Mythology surveys the traditions associated with the Celtic world, beginning with background on the Celts and druids before turning to stories of saints, giants, monsters, heroes and sea gods. It also considers spirits connected with the earth and air, along with the sacred landscapes and sites where belief took shape.

Curran discusses the Celtic Otherworld as a realm linked with gods, spirits, monsters and the dead, drawing together Irish, Scottish, Welsh and wider British traditions. The book also looks at storytelling that continued in the far west of Britain, and illustrates its themes with photographs of Celtic sites and artistic interpretations of the legends.
