Celtic Lore and Legend by Bob Curran

Celtic Lore and Legend by Bob Curran

This book includes tales of the heroes and gods from the Great Myth Cycles as well as tales of witches, ghosts, and fairies. It is an examination and celebration of the tradition of storytelling. This is the first anthology to seek out and record the traditions from many parts of the Western Celtic world--Ireland, Cornwall, Scotland, Wales, and Brittany--from as early as the 17th century.

Curran, Bob: - No one is sure where Bob Curran, PhD, comes from. Tradition says that one moment he wasn't there and the next moment he was in County Down. He has, however, held various jobs-- including gravedigger, hospital porter, civil servant, and teacher--has studied history and education at the New University of Ulster, and has received a PhD in Educational Social Psychology. Bob has a strong interest in local history and folklore, and has both written and lectured on these subjects; he is a frequent contributor to radio, and has appeared on television co-presenting programs on heritage and history. It is said that Bob currently lives somewhere in north Antrim, with his teacher wife and two small children; but it is difficult to be sure, as he is seen only between the lights (at twilight), and then only by a fortunate few.
