I have endeavored to include in this volume the best and most typical stories told by the chief masters of the Celtic folk-tale, Campbell, Kennedy, Hyde, and Curtin, and to these I have added the best tales scattered elsewhere.... In making my selection, and in all doubtful points of treatment, I have had resource to the wide knowledge of my friend Mr. Alfred Nutt in all branches of Celtic folk-lore.... With him by my side I could venture into regions where the non-Celt wanders at his own risk.--Preface.
The charm and humor of Celtic tradition is conveyed to the reader.

From all these sources--from the Jatakas, from the Bidpai, and from the more recent collections--I have selected those stories which throw most light on the origin of fable and folk-tales, and at the same time are most likely to attract English children.--Preface.

The Heroes of Asgard.

This is a rather unattractive little volume, but the myths are so well told that we feel while reading them that real events of heroic days are being recounted.
