I love this little reference. Its very handy. I used it for a research paper in my last semester of grad school (I had an awesome professor who was game for just about any paper topic). I hadn‘t picked it up since then, but now that this series has sent me on a celtic mythology journey next year, I bet I‘m going to get even more use out of this great little volume.

GingerAntics I‘ve actually read that it is based on another dictionary that is almost more like an encyclopaedia in its detail. Its harder to get a copy of that one, but I am quite happy with this one. My only complaint is due to spelling variations, but I‘m sure That‘s all due to the fact that the Celts never wrote anything down themselves, so spellings were up to whoever was writing each piece. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 6y

Apparently, when it comes to my fascination with Celtic Mythology, I am in good company.
