Europe has three great mythological the Graeco-Roman, the Germanic-Scandinavian and the Celtic. Of these the Celtic is possibly the least known, yet it is one of the most rewarding.
Not only are the tales well told, but Neeson includes his extremely engaging analysis on the movement of Celtic peoples west across Europe and what narratives they likely carried with them. He confronts the important detail that the line between myth and history is thoroughly blurred in Irish matters.
