FREE Kindle eBook - Celtic Mythology
From the Free Booksy email list, a FREE Kindle eBook, “Celtic Mythology: A Concise Guide to the Gods, Sagas and Beliefs (Greek Mythology - Norse Mythology - Egyptian Mythology - Celtic Mythology)” by Hourly History.
The "Free" part should be good for at least all of today, Tuesday, April 9, 2024. But whether today or later, double-check and make sure the price is still in fact FREE.

For those outside the US, go to your country's Amazon site. Search for the eBook from there, and see if it's free. The Link below works for the US Amazon site, but (for example) probably won't let you get the book for free at “Amazon Canada”.

From the Publisher's description:
The gifted W.B. Yeats wrote of his own people “...even a newspaperman, if you entice him into a cemetery at midnight, will believe in phantoms, for everyone is a visionary if you scratch him deep enough. But the Celt, unlike any other, is a visionary without scratching.” This introduction to Celtic Mythology will serve the novice well – for it is a complicated history with the earliest written records destroyed by the marauding Vikings.
Inside you will read about...
The Arrival of the Tuatha dé Danann
Hibernia
The Main Gods of the Celtic Pantheon
Celtic Life and Rituals
Sources of Celtic Mythology
The Effect of Christianity and Beliefs and Superstitions
The oral tradition harks back to 4000BCE and is a compilation of myths and cultures of many different peoples including the Indo-Iranians, Slavs, Greeks, Germans, Austrians and finally, the Gauls, who washed up on the shores of the Emerald Isle. Whatever aspect of this rich, mystical and lavishly embellished heritage you would like to investigate further you will find the author has supplied a marker to guide you on your way.
