The works of Joseph Campbell, his highly acclaimed PBS interview with Bill Moyers, and the steadily expanding awareness of and interest in Jungian psychology have all contributed to an explosion in demand for scholarly yet accessible works on mythology and folklore. This first volume in a series on world mythologies will claim a place in the first ranks of the literature of lore. 100 illustrations.

Excellent Reference For Serious Browsers
25 Mar 2000
Format:Hardcover
This is a book I find myself turning to again and again for its wealth of information on such diverse topics as ancient Celtic sites, animals, saints, gods and warriors, Grace O'Malley, druids, and Jonathan Swift. The 'Guide to Language and Pronunciation' chapter alone will be invaluable to anyone who has ever struggled with Old and Middle Irish words in other works: an international phonetic guide is used in one column and an English language orthography in a third column, allowing anyone - perhaps for the first time! - an opportunity to understand the pronunciation of all those place-names and characters that may have been intimidating and annoying in other works without such a resource. The source material listed at the end of each entry is also very useful; any subject particularly interesting to a reader has references grouped right at hand for further reading and research. Though a far-ranging work, it's never dry: each entry is a delightful, informative reading experience, even for the casual reader. A favorite in my library for "things Celtic" and "things Irish."
