Worth a Read
This was a reread for me. I was surprised at how much I didn’t remember, but I greatly enjoyed getting reacquainted with this book. It links Celtic mythology with Greek and Roman mythology in a way that we know now is inaccurate, but the stories embedded within this book is enough to pique interest in the original stories.
