The medieval, mythological and folklore historian has been waiting a long time for a book like this.  Have you ever read a little bit of medieval story or folklore and wondered exactly what its origin was, whether it was Irish, Welsh or English, Scandinavian or Eastern European?  This compendium has all this in a Norton anthology font-size that is simply jam-packed with details and information.  In encyclopedic form, it is a necessary reference tool for any historian, as well a compelling read for anyone interested in the subject matter.  It’s all here in one concise book that deserve a place on any shelf; fortunately it doesn’t take up too much space!
