The civilization of the Celts once stretched over much of Europe, but nowhere was it so richly and highly developed as in Ireland, Wales, and Brittany. With new, vivid retellings of the great epic works, "Tain Bo Cuailnge" of Ireland, "Mabinogion" and "Taliesin" of Wales, and the Merlin legends of Brittany's "Barzaz Breiz", you will find yourself inside this magic world of shape-shifting, spell-casting, arid spiritual power. Magnificent photographs of sacred sites, manuscripts, and artefacts capture its breathtaking vitality.
