A loose collection of myths and legends from the Celts in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Brittany.
The text has a number of errors. But overall the myths are engaging. Naturally, many of Celtic legends came via the 'Roman Road.' Some of that influence can be detected in the mixing in of themes from the Bible.
Some of the myths include the well-known Arthurian legends, Loch Ness Monster, and the Selkies. A number of lesser known and enchanting tales are included as well.
I read this in the Kindle whisper sync format. The narration sounds good, though not accurately accented. This collection is good for those interested in various ethnic Celtic legends.

DNF
This book has many many grammatical errors and laid out in quite a juvenile manner. Subheadings are inconsistent and vary from being in bold, in bold and italics, and neither, making it difficult to follow and confusing. Pronouns seem to be nonexistent as every noun is only referred to by its name and rarely he/she/it/they etc.
Example:
“…he finally became leader of the Fianna. The Fianna had lost the oxter bag during this battle, so the Fianna had lost that treasure.” (This type of wording happens a lot)
Tapped out on the next page when the name Aengus was mentioned 8 times in one paragraph.
Content itself is fine and not written in a particularly interesting way, but conveys the story somewhat effectively.
Hopefully this doesn’t come across as malicious or rude but I try to be as honest as possible. If better editing had been done I perhaps would have continued reading and possibly could rate it a 3⭐️.
