Condition good, clean. ref ZKVQ This volume is a fine introduction to Celtic mythology, featuring fourteen chapters of stories. Most pages are illustrated with black and white illustrations by John Sibbit, paired with occasional two-page full colour spreads by Roger Garland. The double-column small type lends a textbook feel, as the book races through legend after legend, each tale punctuated by headers. The vibrant colour pictures depict scenes of beauty and terror such as the great battle of the giants of Morvah, Cath Palug the monster cat, Fionn's salmon of knowledge and the Lady of the Lake from Arthurian tales. The short pronunciation guide in the back of the book is a boon for readers unfamiliar with the unconventional appearance of Irish and Welsh spelling. Used: Acceptable.
