Celtic Mythology Rocks!
The Celts conquered much of Europe by the first millennium B.C., making them one of the great founding cultures of European civilization. Their mythology is filled with beautiful heroes, gods and battles. Author Catherine Bernard has collected some of the most important myths of the Celtic world and presents them with an authentic appreciation for their unique characters, landscapes, and philosophies. Each of the stories is enhanced by expert commentary of scholars, wonderful illustrations and a question-and-answer section.
* Reviews *
Informative, if a little wordy, this series is excellent for research. Each book covers the mythology of a country, continent, or group of people, with Greek mythology split into two volumes. Seven to 10 stories are featured in every book, all with "Expert Commentary" sections. Although the amount of information might be overwhelming, the short tales make reading more manageable, and the question-and-answer sections will help students focus on meaningful events., School Library Journal Fall 2011
