Brittany (Breizh) occupies a large peninsula in the northwest corner of France, lying between the English Channel to the north and the Bay of Biscay to the south. It is one of the six Celtic Nations, the others being Cornwall (Kernow), Ireland (Éire), Isle of Man (Mannin), Scotland (Alba), and Wales (Cymru). In each of these regions the Celtic languages and cultural traits have survived to this day. In 1917, noted folklorist Lewis Spence first published this amazing collection of fairy tales and legends of the Breton people. Chapters include: The Land, The People, and Their Story; Menhirs and Dolmens; The Fairies of Brittany; Sprites and Demons of Brittany; World Tales in Brittany; Breton Folk Tales; Popular Legends of Brittany; Hero-Tales of Brittany; The Black Art and Its Ministers; Arthurian Romance in Brittany; The Breton Lays of Marie de France; The Saints of Brittany; and Costumes and Customs of Brittany. Myths and Folk Tales of Celtic France will surely delight fans of Celtic myth, magic, and tradition, as well as anyone who likes a good folk story.
