The Creatures Of Celtic Myth

May 2000 @body:Giants, demons, sprites, merfolk, monsters, halflings, heroes, witches, wizards, and wise women: all these beings survive in the world of Celtic mythology, where they have worked their alluring magic for centuries. Here is a varied tapestry of the Celtic imagination and perspective--a tantalizing glimpse of a vanished past. The 29 tales include In the Hall of Yspaddaden Pancawr, about a flesh-eating Welsh cyclops; The Laird of Gesto, a Scottish legend of fairy-folk; and The Sea Bride, from Ireland. 192 pages, 10 color illus., 45 b/w illus., 7 1/2 x 9 1/2.
