Legends & Romances of Brittany

Step into the mist‑shrouded world of Brittany, where ancient stone circles watch over a sea of legends. This anthology gathers the region’s most vivid folk‑tales, heroic sagas, and whispered superstitions, from mischievous fairies and looming demons to the fierce warriors who once defended its coasts. The stories have been lovingly adapted from original Breton sources, preserving the rhythmic charm of the originals while making them accessible to English‑speaking ears, and are complemented by thirty‑four period illustrations that bring each scene to life.

The listening experience weaves together the eerie glow of moonlit moors, the clank of swords in long‑forgotten battles, and the quiet devotion of saintly miracles. You’ll meet a fairy‑woman who tests a young hero’s courage, encounter a mysterious menhir whose secrets hint at forgotten rites, and hear echoes of Arthurian romance filtered through Breton lore. With a tone that balances lyrical storytelling and scholarly insight, the collection invites anyone curious about Celtic myth to discover a culture as richly textured as its rugged coastline.
