I don't really know too much about Celtic Myths. It's kind of on my list of things to look into and this book was certainly a good start on that. Smith retells the myth of Angus in a contemporary setting in an engaging manner and then treats Angus as a sort of archetype. In the more modern sections there is always an Angus character. Sometimes the character is minor, sometimes he is central, but in each case the character explores some aspect of the Angus character.
I liked it. This is the first time I've seen the archetypal approach in one of these and it seemed a natural choice. Smith's adaptation felt like a thorough examination of the character and I would recommend this to someone interesting in celtic mythology.
