Book excerpt: This fresh collection of short stories follows on from the popular 2016 collection with a new group of contemporary authors hauling ancient Irish, Scottish and Welsh stories and concepts out of the shadows and placing them firmly back into the limelight where they belong. Love, mystery and drama, these fascinating tales mark a new movement of more authentic 'Celtic' writing and a better understanding of the real cultures behind them. Accompanied by explanatory notes on the background cultural context, this latest collection examines the stories of Macha and the naming of Eamain Macha, the deity ‘An Dagda’, ‘Changlings’, why you should be careful with crows and many others. Na Ceiltigh, abú!
