Dictionary of Celtic Myth and Legend
This well-written, attractively orga nized work encompasses Celtic myth, religion, and legend that can be "evidenced by archaeology and literature." Green, author of several books on an cient beliefs and cultures (e.g., The Gods of the Celts , Barnes & Noble Bks., 1986; Symbol of Image in Celtic Religious Art , Routledge, 1989), has accumulated a vast amount of material about the fascinating Celtic people during the period 500 B.C.-400 A.D. and she presents this information in a clear and interesting style. The main body of the work is preceded by a "Reader's Guide," a lengthy introduction, and a subject index. Articles, rarely longer than two full columns, are heavily cross-referenced. Major sources are cited and a full bibliography is included. Very well done and recommended for academic and larger public librar ies. BOMC selection.- Pamela A. Grudzien, Central Michigan Univ., Mt.
