Story
Most people have heard of the Celts - the elusive, ancient tribal people who resided in present-day England, Ireland, Scotland and France. Paradoxically characterized as both barbaric and innocent, the Celts appeal to the modern world as a symbol of a bygone era, a world destroyed by the ambition of empire and the spread of Christianity throughout Western Europe. Despite the pervasive cultural and literary influence of the Celts, shockingly little is known of their way of life and beliefs, because very few records of their stories exist.

Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.

"The Other Crowd", "The Good People", "The Wee Folk", and "Them" are a few of the names given to the fairies by the people of Ireland. Honored for their gifts and feared for their wrath, the fairies remind us to respect the world we live in and the forces we cannot see. In these tales of fairy forts, fairy trees, ancient histories, and modern true-life encounters with the Other Crowd, Eddie Lenihan opens our eyes to this invisible world with the passion and bluntness of a seanchai, a true Irish storyteller.

Story
The poems of the Poetic Edda have waited a long time for a modern English translation that would do them justice. Here it is at last (Odin be praised!) and well worth the wait. These amazing texts from a 13th-century Icelandic manuscript are of huge historical, mythological, and literary importance, containing the lion's share of information that survives today about the gods and heroes of pre-Christian Scandinavians, their unique vision of the beginning and end of the world, etc.

Story
Celtic mythology, Arthurian romance, and an intriguing interpretation of British history - these are just some of the themes embraced by the anonymous authors of the eleven tales that make up the Welsh medieval masterpiece known as The Mabinogion. They tell of Gwydion the shape-shifter, who can create a woman out of flowers; of Math the magician whose feet must lie in the lap of a virgin; of hanging a pregnant mouse and hunting a magical boar.

Couldn't be better
I wanted to say something about this specific audio book, so I am actually making the effort to write a review. It may possibly have had a few errors, but they did not take away anything from the remarkable info that this particular book contains. You can learn a ton. I definitely know that I did.

Excellent
This is an excellent book that captures the imagination about the elves the trolls, and the other creatures in Celtic myths. I didn't know a lot of them and I learned a lot.

it's alright
The lady reading the story sounds like a computer at times and doesn't say any of the names the right way but it's ok. it's a good start before getting into something with much more detail.

Another extraordinary myth collection
This collection of myths hit all the right places of my brain in historical interest and awe. Thanks to this, I am now updated with further knowledge about an often-long-forgotten area in the world with its own folklore, creatures, and stories: The Celts.

Of course
Don't forget about the Celts. Many people do. I was wondering if I could find some elements from the movie "Brave" in there, but didn't. But despite of that, I really enjoyed the tales.

An absolute waste of money or credits.
Crap. Pure, unmitigated crap.
The reader sounds like one of those ridiculous AI narrators on YouTube. The content itself is jarring and unbearable, with words some words used in the wrong context or verbs in the wrong tense.
I'm angry I burned a credit in this dreck.

Butchery of the English language!
The author doesn't have an adequate grasp of English. The grammar is terrible, words are misused (like the completely wrong word is used) and the narrator - though she stuttered and struggled to make sense of the written word - just reads it as written. I'm not a stickier for this stuff so I made it to the 23rd chapter - just because the gist of the story was there. At that point 3 really bad ones in a row, including the statement that a pole struck with a sword "burglarized splinters" (WTH!?), sent me into a fit I wasn't even aware I COULD have. Couldn't bring myself to finish it after that. DON'T DO IT if you are bothered, even a little, by an absolute slaughter of the English language.

Sounds like a book report written by the dumbest kid in class
Perfectly Anglo reading of a culture rich in history, tradition and art. Pronunciation of names and places is criminal. Written like a history text book without the color or care for its people. I was hoping to learn something but the subjects aren’t explored. They should really have another system so you can give it a number of thumbs down.
