Book Reviews of The Celtic Heroic Age (None)

Book Review: Good Reference Misses the Mark in Some Cases
Summary: 4 Stars

The Celtic Heroic Age combines together writings from Classical authors, Irish monks, and Brittonic storytellers in a fine collection of important mythological and heroic reference material. Koch and Carey use several good translations of the texts, including some of their own, to weave together a story as it may have been told in an earlier era. However, I was a bit disappointed that some of the primary sources of the mythological cycle, such as Cath Maige Tuired, were absent. Even missing some crucial mythological information, this is the best resource I have found so far for Celtic mythology and culture, brought together in readable language for modern audiences.
