Publisher's summary

Relive the magic of captivating legends and folktales in this rich collection on Celtic Mythology.

In 58 BCE, when Julius Caesar – the famous Roman general – wrote a commentary on the Gallic wars, he described the “Celt” speaking people who lived in the area then known as the Gaul. These people had their own culture, gods, and beliefs – called Celtic Mythology – which were very different from the Romans.

The influence of this mythology, however, was not limited to a small territory. This culture spread across Europe, especially to the western nations of Britain, Ireland, France, and Spain.

The legacy of Celts is still alive, and you may even have encountered these traces of Celtic culture:

• The languages spoken by modern-day Irish, Scottish, and Welsh people
• King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
• The legends and pop-culture depictions of the shrieking spirit of Banshee
• Conan the Barbarian, a very famous character appearing in films as well as comics
• Bran Stark, from Game of Thrones, who becomes the three-eyed Raven

The above examples are just a handful of successors from the ancient Celtic culture, and the last two draw direct inspiration from Celtic mythology.

And there’s even more from where those came from...

In Uncovering Celtic Mythology, you will discover:

• A comprehensive, beginner-friendly guide to understanding the world of Celtic Mythology

Great book!

I have been trying to find a book about Celtic mythology that I could follow. I bought the audio version and fell in love with how the stories were told. I even listened when I was working instead of music. I look forward to listening to the others in the series!

Couldn’t stop listening

This audiobook exceeded my expectations. Right from the beginning, it kept me hooked all 5 hours listening non stop. It was filled with in depth and detailed stories of Celtic Gods and creatures i had never even heard of before. Russo did an amazing job telling and describing the Celtic era that personally got me so invested that i could picture everything that i was listening to. It was the perfect listen for my road trip. I will recommend this one always and will be checking his other books as well.

I Couldnt stop listening to this book

This book exceeded my expectations. It is not only filled with stories and tales of Celtic Gods and Goddess’ but it also deeply talks about creatures and heroes and a lot of background as to why they would do the things they did. The author does a great job at explaining and also making it easy to understand. I recommend this to anyone interested in the Celtic culture.

Read the physical book if you can…

I got this as my new work commute audio book and the mispronunciation of names and Gaelic words is incredibly distracting for me. Ex. The god Lugh is pronounced like the French Louis. This is incredibly lazy on the narrator’s part as this information is easily accessible on YouTube and dedicated Celtic websites. If you’re brand new to Celtic deities - save your credit and get the hard copy.

Excellent book !!

I REALLY enjoyed this book and I also enjoyed listening to another of Russo’s books which was on Greek Mythology !!

Great story telling and easy to understand

I loved this book! It seemed well researched and informative but at the same time the stories are told like your grandparents told them to you. (if that makes sense.) Easy to understand too.
