The ancient skills of story-telling live on in the work of modern writers such as Rosemary Sutcliff, James Branch Cabell, Margaret Elphinstone, and Caitlin Matthews. The writings of these visionaries show a remarkable continuity with their bardic predecessors and will appeal to all those who are fascinated by the colourful and mysterious world of the Celts. This anthology contains stories from some of the best known authors in the field. Seven of the stories are new and previously unpublished. It is a companion to John Matthews' previous collection From the Isles of Dream.
