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. In this book, for the first time, Philip Freeman brings together the best stories of Celtic mythology.

Everyone today knows about the gods and heroes of the ancient Greeks, such as Zeus, Hera, and Hercules, but how many people have heard of the Gaulish god Lugus or the magical Welsh queen Rhiannon or the great Irish warrior C Chulainn? We still thrill to the story of the Trojan War, but the epic battles of the Irish T in B Cuailgne are known only to a few. And yet those who have read the stories of Celtic myth and legend-among them writers like J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis-have been deeply moved and influenced by these amazing tales, for there is nothing in the world quite like them. In these stories a mysterious and invisible realm of gods and spirits exists alongside and sometimes crosses over into our own human world; fierce women warriors battle with kings and heroes, and even the rules of time and space can be suspended. Captured in vivid prose these shadowy figures-gods, goddesses, and heroes-come to life for the modern reader.

Let a friend borrow these for prom. They looked soo good. Beautiful shoes, comfortable, nice color, and survived dancing the night away. I would recommend these and think they are a great value. The fit is true to size as I’m an 8.5: /9 and these fit me perfect. The photo is of my shoe on a size 8 foot

Elegant & Surprisingly Comfortable Heels 👠
Size: 9, Color: Brown, Size: 9, Color: Brown
These strappy nude heels are absolutely gorgeous in person! The minimalist design makes them super versatile — I’ve worn them with dresses, jeans, and even formal outfits. The nude color helps elongate the legs, and the thin straps give such a classy, elegant look. I was honestly surprised by how comfortable they were for stilettos. The ankle strap keeps the foot secure, so I didn’t feel like I was constantly slipping around while walking. The heel height is definitely high, but they’re manageable for dinners, parties, weddings, or a night out. They also look much more expensive than they are. Great quality for the price, and they instantly elevate any outfit. Definitely a pair of heels to add to your closet!!

Good value for the money.
Size: 9.5 Wide, Color: Beige
Comfortable right out of the box. Great style and well made. The more you wear the softer they get but maintain their overall appearance.
