The storytelling tradition continues in the more remote areas of the Celtic world, but most of us have to be content with the stories as written down by medieval Christian writers. Some of us come to the stories in versions by painters, poets and Composers of the last century, when romantic tales of King Arthur were particularly popular. This volume takes us back to the pagan world of the Celts with later Christian and Romantic additions removed and the stories related as they were originally intended ~enthralling entertainments for cold winter evenings. The stories in this volume are beautifully illustrated with examples of 'abstract' Celtic art and craftsmanship at its finest: the helmets and swords of warriors; the intricate jewellery worn by both men and women; the precious illustrations of medieval manuscripts such as the Book of Kells; and the occasional rare depictions of strange heroes and deities. Amongst these ancient objects are placed landscape photographs showing a world that has changed little since Celtic times: hill~forts and chalk figures: ruined villages and tombs; stone circles and wishing wells which often predate the Celts themselves, but were believed by the Druids to hold magical powers. The author introduces us to this wonderful culture with tales of Celtic heroes and heroines: the Irish warrior'king CuChulainn; Pwyll the splendid Welsh prince; the tragic tale of Branwen, daughter of the Irish King Uyr, with its striking parallels to Shakespeare's Cordelia and King Lear; the equally tragic romance of Tristan and Isolt, immortalized for music~lovers in Wagner's opera Tristan and Isolde. These great stories are followed by shorter tales, which have been selected to give the reader an idea of the range of stories told by the ancient bards: tales of magic and monsters, wizards and lovers. Examples of the continuing tradition of storytelling are also included with folktales from Brittany, Cornwall, Ireland, the Isle of Man, Scotland and Wales, where the Celtic languages are still spoken. The narratives are interspersed with features on various aspects of the Celtic tradition. These look at the ways in which Celts such as King Arthur have been romanticized by later ages and how archeology can attempt to reconstruct the 'real' Celtic world. There is also background information on Celtic art from ancient times down to the 'Celtic revivals' of our own times. Pronunciation tables and an extensive bibliography are provided, together with a discography . for those interested in the survival of Celtic music.…
