As the nineteenth century gave way to the twentieth, a number of books appeared in English dealing with the romantic and fascinating world of myth and legend. Among the few that went on to become a minor classics of that genre was M. I. Ebbutt's Hero Myths and Legends of the British Race. Over two dozen color and black & white illustrations.
Enjoyable if dated tales from ye olde times. Good old fashioned good triumphs over evil. Although regional the tales have similiar exploits and themes but are still a fun read.
