'...presents the myths, legends and stories of the Celts from the most ancient Irish tales to the saga of King Arthur. The Celts inhabited much of Europe from 500 B.C. onward. Driven to the edge of the Continent by the Romans, their culture survived in the British Isles and Brittany, and even today traces of them can be found in the names of rivers and places and in European folk beliefs and customs.'
