Didn't read all of it but had to read the most of it. I can answer questions related to Celts and Celtic Myths now.

There is no other encyclopedia in my vast collection that has more highlights, notes, and use than this one. As a writer who has set a world and story around Celtic lore, this book was a must have. Rarely do I not find a category or name I'm seeking and rarely do I not find some nugget that sends me down a rabbit hole of even more research. Love this resource.

Broad collection of Celtic mythical/folklore figures, places, tales. Entries are cross-referenced. Again, the only thing that would make a book like this more user-friendly, since it does include an index, would be a sub-division of the entries by specific culture.

All the beauty, magic and fascination of the Celtic world in a comprehensive, beautifully written guide. Goddesses, gods, mythical queens and kings, heroes and heroines, saints and otherworldly creatures. Customs, rituals, battles and legends written like a fairytale to spread the wealth of the Celtic culture of the British Isles, Brittany and the rest of the Celtic world.

A jewel that should find a place in every bookcase.
