On the Edge of Dream

- The Women of Celtic Myth and Legend

Bag om On the Edge of Dream

Weaving fragments of ancient epic texts and the richness of oral tradition, Jennifer Heath brings alive 15 tales from pre-Christian Ireland featuring the powerful, wild, and wise women of Celtic mythology. From the sea goddess Fand to Cerridwen, who can change her shape at will, to the avenging warrior queen Criedne, the women of Celtic literature are here celebrated for their ingenuity, spirit, physical courage, and deep instinctual natures. Retold for the modern reader, in earthy, poetic language, these haunting, deeply moving tales exert all the primal pull of great storytelling, awakening ancient memories buried deep within our collective uncon- scious.
