Pilgrimage: The Sacred Journey Book

The introduction is quite good, but I found the summaries of the myths to be too succinct and soon too confusing, due to all of the names briefly introduced yet not easily distinguished in terms of character. The fault may be mine (I've had similar trouble with some of Lady Gregory's accounts), but I had a hard time keeping track of who was doing what. However, I did appreciate his portrayal of the Firbolgs and Fomorians in more human terms, treating them like indigenous groups or previously settled invaders contending with the invading Tuatha de Danann, and avoiding the colonizing habit of treating them as monsters. I might return to this book when I have ingested other sources and become more familiar with the mythology.
