From the earliest texts of antiquity, and from oral folk traditions, through the vivid storytelling of the Celtic Christian era, this is an inspiring selection of poetry and prose from Ireland, Scotland, and Wales in a handsome little book. "It will surprise many readers that heroic tales may be read not only as mythic history," notes philosopher Gerald Benedict in his introduction, "but also as parables of great spiritual enterprise. It will surprise others that omens, cures, visions, and anecdotes of animals and birds may be read as signs of the reverence due to everything, and of the miracle of the mundane." This compact edition fits nicely in the hand, and features two-color printing and a sewn binding.
