About this book
Gaelic gods and the giants they fought, the Red Branch heroes of Ulster, Finn and his Fenians, and Arthur with his knights all appear in this 1905 introduction to Celtic myth by Charles Squire. It was written for English readers who knew Greek, Roman and Scandinavian mythology but had no guide to the older traditions of the British islands. Squire draws on translations and commentaries by scholars of Old Gaelic and Old Welsh, and follows how these figures came to be remembered as fairies. Marginal notes and a short bibliography point to his sources.
