Dive into the world of fairies, goddesses, heroes, giants, and Selkies. Learn about the mysteries of the ancient world on the British Isles, as well as on the mainland in the old European nations.

Story4 out of 5 stars 928
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.

The past is coming back. The ancient myths that were told, are now available in an audiobook format. Listen to the narration, and you will find yourself amazed by the intricate details of age-old civilizations like that of the Celts, the Vikings, the Greeks, and others. This combination of books focuses on several separate societies that have a long, well-known history of believing in multiple gods, goddesses, crazy creatures we now suppose are fiction, and a myriad of other interesting superstitious or valuable assumptions.

"The Other Crowd", "The Good People", "The Wee Folk", and "Them" are a few of the names given to the fairies by the people of Ireland. Honored for their gifts and feared for their wrath, the fairies remind us to respect the world we live in and the forces we cannot see. In these tales of fairy forts, fairy trees, ancient histories, and modern true-life encounters with the Other Crowd, Eddie Lenihan opens our eyes to this invisible world with the passion and bluntness of a seanchai, a true Irish storyteller.

What’s to be done about a jaywalking moose? A bear caught breaking and entering? A murderous tree? Three hundred years ago, animals that broke the law would be assigned legal representation and put on trial. These days, as New York Times best-selling author Mary Roach discovers, the answers are best found not in jurisprudence but in science: the curious science of human-wildlife conflict, a discipline at the crossroads of human behavior and wildlife biology.

Paying attention to every detail, Amy Hughes collected many stories, myths, legends, and tales of the pagan Scandinavian rituals, gods, and heroes. Narrated in such a descriptive way, the stories will transfer you to a time long gone, and you’ll feel as if you’re been a witness to the Viking’s incredible history! But this book does not only present the mythological, abstract world of Scandinavian beliefs and religion.

From the translator of the best-selling Poetic Edda comes a gripping new rendering of two of the greatest sagas of Old Norse literature. Together the two sagas recount the story of seven generations of a single legendary heroic family and comprise our best source of traditional lore about its members - including, among others, the dragon slayer Sigurd, Brynhild the Valkyrie, and the Viking chieftain Ragnar Lothbrok.

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.

Originally written in Icelandic in the 13th century AD by an anonymous author, The Story of The Volsungs is a legendary saga based on Norse mythology. The epic describes the legendary history and heroic feats of several generations of mythic Viking families and derives from many sources, including preexisting Edda, or heroic poems, Norse legends, historical events, and orally transmitted folklore. The saga is imbued throughout with themes of power, jealousy, love, vengeance, and fear.

Very few myths
This is more of a history of Celtic mythology & not an actual book of myths. Its informative & interesting but not what I thought it was going to be.

Very fascinating
This is fascinating stuff, as it goes over certain creatures and the Celtic history that relates to their myths. One story was very long in particular, but I was okay with that. It was nice to listen to.

Educational audiobook
A good primer of Celtic Folklore. It starts out with their most famous stories and ends with an education on the Celts, Druids, etc. Also well organized and easy to follow...unlike another audiobook on Celtic Mythology that I had to return. Highly recommended.

These kinds of stories are so intriguing. I love the Celtic historical background and the stories that came from that part of the world. Forget Greek mythology. This stuff is even more fascinating.

I love things like this
The mythology from around the world we know, is very limited. The Celts had their own set of gods, elves, myths, and folklore stories. This book does a great job showing those.

Seems more tale oriented than focusing on structure, deities, and historical beliefs. Narrator stumbled at times restarting sentences were left in I don't know why this wasn't simply edited out?

poor narration, misleading description.
this book sounded like trying to listen to television through a wall. the description says "Dive into the world of fairies, goddesses, heroes, giants, and Selkies" but 2 hours into the book we're still hearing the life stories of Finn and Dermot.
I was really hoping to get more fae lore and the Fomor.

Read like the last book report before recess.
The stories are common if you’ve ever toured Ireland.
If you haven’t been, go to hear these stories! It’s better with an accent and the Irish are amazing story tellers!!
