If you're looking for a beginner's guide on Celtic culture, look no further. While this book focuses on mythology, it will also highlight other essential information about Celtic culture both in the past and present.
Throughout this book, we will discuss Celtic people and the gods, goddesses, creatures, and lore that are most associated with Celtic culture. This book will also tell you about the diverse culture of Celts, where Celtic people originally came from, what makes a person Celtic, and about the Celtic religion beyond just the deities that were so important to the religion.

NORSE MYTHOLOGY
Throughout this book, we will discuss everything there is to know about Norse mythology, from the gods and monsters to the heroic tales that we know today. Norse mythology is rather interesting, as much of what we know has been pieced together from artifacts and poems that were completed after Christianity took over as the primary religion.
As you will learn, there were two main tribes or families of gods, the Aesir and the Vanir; each played a slightly different role in the hierarchy of Norse mythology.
Inside, you will learn about who Odin, Thor, and Loki were, and how they interacted with each other. We will also take a look at some of the craziest monsters the gods ever had to face, who may have created them, and much more

EGYPTIAN MYTHOLOGY
Ancient pyramids. Pharaohs and Gods. Mummies, myths, and magic. There is nothing quite like the wonders and mysteries of the ancient Egyptians. This ancient civilization lasted for over 3,000 years and in that time, became one of history's most powerful and iconic civilizations. Ancient Egypt is easily one of the most influential societies to ever exist in this world, so powerful that we still think about it and talk about it today.
The rulers of Egypt were considered protectors of the people, and they served as divine liaisons between humanity and the many Gods that they worshipped. In this book, we will dive into this rich and fascinating world that may be long gone but is certainly not forgotten
A collection of 47 old folk and fairy tales set in, or collected from, Lancashire. It includes stories of various 'Feorin', or fairy folk, as well as fantastical and magical adventures by Lancashire people. Stories include Mossycoat, The boggart in top attic, Lousy Jack and his eleven brothers, Silken Janet, and many more.
A collection of rarely heard fairy tales from across Yorkshire, plus some local folklore. It has around fifty tales of dragons, giants, hobs, fairies, witches and other folk, or fairy, tales based in Yorkshire.
Most of these are unchanged, or with very minor changes, to the versions found in old (out of copyright) books, though I've tended to soften the dialect to make them easier to read. A few, however, have had slightly more significant changes as the older versions I found were a little brief, and I took a mixture of these and newer versions to retell the story. A couple I've told completely from scratch, building on tiny scraps of local legend, where I could not find a proper story associated with them.
A such there are a range of voices and types of stories to be found inside, plus a little extra folklore too.

Designed as a workbook, this book scaffolds the process of creating educational escape room style activities.
It can be followed through by individuals, but is best used as part of a small group, all contributing ideas. For extra guidance, it can be used as part of a group workshop facilitated by the author, Andrew Walsh.

Since the 1990s, the Ankarana region of northern Madagascar has developed a reputation among globe-trotting gemstone traders and tourists as a source of some of the world's most precious natural wonders. Although some might see Ankarana's sapphire and ecotourist trades as being at odds with each other, many local people understand these trades to be fundamentally connected, most obviously in how both serve foreign demand for what Madagascar has to offer the world. Walsh explores the tensions and speculations that have come with the parallel emergence of these two trades with sensitivity and a critical eye, allowing for insights into globalization, inequality, and the appeal of the natural.
