About this book
The beliefs of the ancient Celts are examined here by comparison with other religions and with folk survivals still found in Celtic lands. The author, J. A. MacCulloch, was an honorary canon and had written earlier studies of comparative religion. His preface notes that no Celt left an account of his own religion, so the evidence has to be pieced together from scarce materials and Irish texts, and he credits earlier scholars such as Sir John Rhys, with whom he sometimes disagrees. He wrote it during a long stay on the Isle of Skye. It appeared in Edinburgh in 1911, dedicated to Andrew Lang.
