British Legends for Children - Reprint

5r The World Legends Series.

Notes

Classic British and Irish legends are a rich tapestry of myth, folklore, and heroic tales deeply rooted in Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, and medieval traditions. In British legend, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table stand as iconic figures, with stories of Excalibur, the wizard Merlin, and the quest for the Holy Grail symbolizing chivalry, magic, and destiny. Irish legends, drawn from ancient Celtic mythology, feature the powerful gods and heroes of the Tuatha Dé Danann, like Lugh and the Morrígan, as well as epic sagas such as the Táin Bó Cúailnge, which tells of the mighty warrior Cú Chulainn. Both traditions are filled with enchanted landscapes, mythical creatures like dragons, faeries, and banshees, and themes of honor, fate, and the otherworld. These legends have shaped British and Irish cultural identity and continue to inspire modern fantasy and storytelling.
