# Celtic Fairy Tales and Legends - Hardcover

by **Rosalind Kerven** (Author)

**12 classic Celtic fairy tales and their history, from mermaids to dragons.**

The Celtic cultures of the British Isles--Ireland, Scotland, and Wales--have produced some of the richest traditional tales in Europe. Three words best sum up their themes and flavor: adventure, enchantment, and romance.

In this book, Rosalind Kerven has revived the best Celtic fairy tales for a new generation. The stories are sourced from old folk tale collections from all three regions, alongside selected medieval Welsh and Irish texts. This book complements the stories found in _English Fairy Tales & Legends._

Stories include: The Eagle and the Owl, King Cormac and the Golden Apples, The Hunter and the Seals, The Daughter of King Under-Wave, The Swan Princess, and The Red Etin's Riddles.

The book also includes notes on each story: the history and where it came from, its development, and short summaries of many related or similar stories.
