Irish Imbas: Celtic Mythology Collection 2016 by Sighle Meehan

Over the past centuries, many important Celtic cultural narratives and beliefs have been relegated to the status of children’s stories or cartoonish caricature, misunderstood and misinterpreted for as long as most of us can remember.This collection by a new wave of contemporary authors hauls Celtic stories out of the dusty shadows and places them back into the light where they belong.Love, mystery and drama, these fascinating tales mark a new movement of more authentic and original Celtic-based writing and a better understanding of Celtic cultures.Subjects covered in this collection include the ‘Fairies’, the 'Salmon of Knowledge', the 'Children of Lir' and the 'Selkie'.Na Ceiltigh, abú!
