### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ absorbing, detailed and very well-illustrated (and short) guide
*by V***S on 25 July 2017*

An absorbing, detailed and very well-illustrated guide to Irish and Welsh Celtic myths and beliefs. I thoroughly recommend this short book as a readable introduction (if slightly repetitive). There are many useful 'inserts' or short paragraphs on particular aspects, and the author appears to be widely conversant with the latest archaeological and scholarly findings. It is fascinating to read summaries of the main myths and to learn about how animals played a pivotal role in mediating between the material and the spirit world, amidst a dazzling array of Celtic Gods, with spirits lurking in every corner of an unstable landscape. The versions of ancient Welsh stories which we have are far more Christianised than Irish ones, which burst with pagan life, though they both have much common: talking heads, human animal transformations, magical cauldrons and an earth-like 'Otherworld'. One small caveat is that Aldhouse-Green - like many other writers - seems to think it strange (or somehow invalid) that early Christians took over various pre-Christian religious markers and holy people (such as Brigit) - but surely it is natural that the new religion should have built to some extent on the old (not least in its art, the closeness of the 'otherworld' and a sense of the sacredness of certain places). The author also says that it is difficult to see links between pre-Christian religion and medieval Celtic myths (page 50), which might be true in the academic sense that the exact progression of the one to the other over a period of a thousand years lacks continuous textual evidence, but she seems to have over-looked one major connection: the extraordinary early Christian hagiographies of saints, not least Ireland's rich hagiographical tradition (especially the lives of Saints Patrick, Columba and Bridget), appear to me to be poised half-way between pre-Christian heroic myths and medieval morality tales.
