The needs of readers at the beginning of the twenty-first century have not changed much, and a popular introduction to the subject of Celtic mythology is a very desirable resource. In some ways, Squire’s book still fulfils the criteria he himself established\" (Juliette Wood, Cardiff University, \u003ci\u003eEarly Celtic Scholarship and the Romantic Celt: Charles Squire\u003c\/i\u003e online).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU: \u003c\/strong\u003e2125032\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sotherans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57143259595129,"sku":"2125032","price":250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/2178\/7426\/files\/2125032_d5bc629c-2227-48e7-8ef1-cb1d6b825757.jpg?v=1779468610","url":"https:\/\/sotherans.co.uk\/products\/squire-charles-celtic-myth-and-legend-poetry-and-romance","provider":"Sotherans","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
