If you want the historical facts, even if it is about something fanciful, you cannot top Katherine Briggs. The book is a history of Celtic beliefs of past ages that reach, in some ways, even the present.Written in a style that neither advocates nor degrades fairy faith, the book is quite interestingly written. Katherine Briggs is probably the most serious researcher and recorder of old tales and stories believed by our remote ancestors in print today. Highly recommended for those who are looking for the real story and not the fancy, frilly, fluff so many others describe.
