9. Women in Celtic Myth by Moyra Caldecott
This interesting little book shares tales of strong women from the Celtic tradition. Most are moral commentaries on those most human tendencies from greed to love. The last two read like fairy tales, complete with happily-ever-after, but still speak of the ancients if you look carefully. Each tale is followed by a "Commentary" that helps to clairfy the symbolism so important to the Celts. This was a fast and fun read.
