"Even if you aren't into mythology; this is a wonderful book filled with Princess'; Kings, Queens and odd creatures. It's filled with short stories from the Celtic countries and regions: Scotland, Ireland, Wales, and Brittany. When I have children I'll read them several stories from this collection."
"SOSOSOSOSOSO GOOD! If you want to know where children's fairytale writer got their ideas, this is where! I loved this book the stories are so amazing but not too too long where you can't take it anymore. SO GOOD! Read it, my favorite book of this type"
"The fairy tales in this book were fun and interesting, but the introduction was fascinating. Who knew that Celtic languages have a close relationship with Sanskrit? An extra bonus for other people who loved the book Possession by A. S. Byatt: One of the legends included here is the Breton story of the City of Is, which is retold by Christabel in Possession."
