First published in 1911-this is a replica of the 1917 second edition-this classic work is considered by many the best work on the spiritual and mythological history of the Celtic peoples. Rolleston, a seminal scholar in the literature, explores:
• the Celts in ancient history
• the religion of the Celts
• the Irish invasion myths
• the early Milesian kings
• tales of the Ultonian cycle
• tales of the Ossianic cycle
• and much more.
Anyone intrigued by the history and culture of Britain, Ireland, and Wales should consider this essential reading.
Irish writer and editor THOMAS WILLIAM HAZEN ROLLESTON (1857-1920) published some 168 books, including *Poems and Ballads of Young Ireland* (1888), *Life of Lessing* (1889), and *The High Deeds of Finn Mac Cumhail* (1910).
