This volume is part of the Myths and legends series and is a collection of 5 traditional Celtic stories from Irish and Welsh mythology, suitable for reading aloud either in the classroom or at home. The author begins with a short introduction describing the world of the Celts. The first two stories, The hound of Culann and The cattle raid of Cooley , are concerned with the great Irish hero Cu Chulainn and his amazing feats of strength and courage. The next story, The revenge of Finn mac Cumaill , is about the Fian (Fenian) warriors who figure prominently in Irish mythology. The great boar hunt is a Welsh legend of high adventure which relates how Culhwch won Olwen as his bride. The final story, The lady from the lake , is a magical tale of the marriage between a Welsh farmer and a faerie woman. All of the stories are accompanied by full colour illustrations and the book also has a textual te, a further reading list and a glossary.
