mythology and celtic
From the annals of British folklore comes a new chapter that once again reunites the reader with the ancient world of Celtic mythology, where the mystical beasts of legend that forged the chronicles of heroic sagas and the psyche of western culture are reawakened in the twenty first century by a young girl named Laila. Whilst out on a spring saunter in Epping woods, Laila is unexpectedly set upon and despoiled of her treasured necklace by a pilfering opportunistic magpie. Subsequently she finds herself on a search for its recovery, but soon discovers more than she had bargained for, when the magpie who stole it turns out to be none other than a nefarious shaman named Ibora, who appears to have mistaken her pendant for that of a mythical jewel known as the Brisingamen.
