Excerpt from Hero Folk of Ancient Britain The pictures and language are harmonized with the times: arms, dress, and domestic architecture present no anachronisms. Adhering to the principle of all editorial work heretofore done by me, the emphasis of these stories has been changed by simply laying stress upon the positive virtues of kindness to neighbors and love of king and country. For obvious reasons the latest addition to Tom Thumb, dating back to the sixteenth century, is entirely omitted, having no more right there than any vulgar tale would have if picked up to-day in bad company.

The islands of Britain have been a crossroads of gods, heroes, and kings-those of flesh as well as those of myth-for thousands of years. Successive waves of invasion brought distinctive legends, rites, and beliefs. The ancient Celts displaced earlier indigenous peoples, only to find themselves displaced in turn by the Romans, who then abandoned the islands to Germanic tribes, a people themselves nearly overcome in time by an influx of Scandinavians. With each wave of invaders came a battle for the mythic mind of the Isles as the newcomer's belief system met with the existing systems of gods, legends, and myths. In Gods, Heroes, and Kings, medievalist Christopher Fee and veteran myth scholar David Leeming unearth the layers of the British Isles' unique folkloric tradition to discover how this body of seemingly disparate tales developed. The authors find a virtual battlefield of myths in which pagan and Judeo-Christian beliefs fought for dominance, and classical, Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, and Celtic narrative threads became tangled together. The resulting body of legends became a strange but coherent hybrid, so that by the time Chaucer wrote "The Wife of Bath's Tale" in the fourteenth century, a Christian theme of redemption fought for prominence with a tripartite Celtic goddess and the Arthurian legends of Sir Gawain-itself a hybrid mythology. Without a guide, the corpus of British mythology can seem impenetrable. Taking advantage of the latest research, Fee and Leeming employ a unique comparative approach to map the origins and development of one of the richest folkloric traditions. Copiously illustrated with excerpts in translation from the original sources,Gods, Heroes, and Kings provides a fascinating and accessible new perspective on the history of British mythology.

The islands of Britain have been a meeting ground of peoples and myths for thousands of years. The Ancient Celts displaced the earlier indigenous peoples, only to find themselves displaced in turn by the Romans, who then abandoned the islands to Germanic tribes that were themselves nearlyovercome by an influx of Scandinavians. Each of these groups brought distinctive legends, rites, and beliefs; with each succeeding wave of invasion, new mythic systems came into contact and conflict with previously established beliefs. In Gods, Heroes, and Kings, Christopher Fee and veteran myth scholar David Leeming explore the sources of Britain's variegated folkloric tradition to discover how this body of seemingly unrelated tales developed. Fee and Leeming uncover a virtual battlefield of myths in which pagan andJudeo-Christian beliefs fought for dominance and classical, Anglo-Saxon, German, and Celtic narrative threads became tangled together. The resulting body of legends became a strange but coherent hybrid, which featured Christian heroes who exhibited distinctly pagan behavior. These myths continue tointerest a broad range of readers: alternative spiritual groups embrace the pagan traditions and folklore of the British Isles, while the Arthurian legends inspire countless fictions, role-playing games, and historical romances. Fee and Leeming have availed themselves to the most recent scholarshipto render an accessible examination of the mythologies of Britain that will be engaging and informative to scholars and general readers alike.
