One of the most comprehensive collections of the stories of the Gods of Celtic Pagan mythology and the Warrior band the Fianna. Unfortunately, Lady Gregory even admits to editing the stories for her readers puritanical beliefs so you will not always get the feel of the early celtic people. Most stories are similar to other translations I have read, but leave out the sexual implications and tones the stories often had. A very good starting place for those wishing to become more familiar with Celtic Mythology.
