"Myths & Legends of the Celtic Race" by T. W. Rolleston is a journey into the vibrant history and influence of the Celtic people. It argues that the Celts' contributions to art, literature, and history have been overlooked, and their tales and beliefs are essential to understanding their culture. Instead of the term "Anglo-Saxon," the book proposes “Anglo-Celtic” to better describe the mix of cultures that shaped the British people. The author promises a broad view of Celtic myths, religious beliefs, and their story, highlighting their complexities that time has obscured.
