An unforgettable and illuminating exploration of the legends of the British Isles.

From the misty centuries of British and Irish prehistory to the height of the Dark Ages, come tales of giants and fairy-folk, druids and saints. From King Lear and King Arthur, to Fingal, Beowulf, Gwendolen and Guinevere, these are the characters who shaped the nation.

But who were they?

In Mythology of the British Isles, Geoffrey Ashe explores these compelling and ancient stories, seeing how they have taken on fresh significance as historical and archaeological research has uncovered the truth behind each legend.
