This is an excellent resource book that I have been keeping handy when I am reading books like the Tain and other old celtic folk stories. There is even a number of pronunciation guides for the different old and new Gaelic dialects. This book covers people, places, major tales, themes, concepts, creatures, aristocracy, archaelogical sites, shrines, and language development. There is even articles on how some themes are related to neighboring cultures like Norse and Greek. Very helpful for tracking down strange references. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Especially impressive is the range of subjects covered here: from beasties such as water-horses and various homunculi (such as leprechauns) to heroes, heroines and deities; literature such as The Mabinogion, Irish sagas and the Lives of saints; and themes including the cult of the severed head, tale-types and folklore motifs. As with any reference book worth its salt one fascinating entry leads to another, displaying that essential corollary to academic authoritativeness, accessibility.
The hardback is reassuringly solid, so it is disappointing that the paperback seems so slight substantial in comparison, but either edition should be on the shelves of anyone avowing even a passing interest in Celtic culture. You won’t find any other guide as comprehensive as this, and it renders the many dilettante New Age dictionaries entirely dispensable.
