Celtic Cyclopedia

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Come away, O human child!

To the waters and the wild

With a faery, hand in hand,

For the world's more full of weeping than you can understand.


-
Yeats (1886)

The Celtic Cyclopedia delves deeply into the 6 Celtic kingdoms:

  • Ireland
  • Manx
  • Scotland
  • Wales
  • Cornwall
  • Brittany

The book explores the religions, cultures and mythology of the Celtic tribes, and touches upon those of the invading Vikings. The 10th century Celtic Twilight is explored, as one age ends and another begins.

Within these pages the stories come alive of kings, queens, heroes, saints, gods and monsters:

  • Tuatha Dé Danann
  • Fir Bolg
  • Fomorians
  • Pan-Celtic gods and goddesses
  • The Dark Ones
  • The historical tales of Arthur
  • Faeries, goblins and other curiosities
  • The walking Saints and their miracles
  • The kings, queens and heroes such as Cú Chulainn

A quick question, if I own the Children Of Eriu hardcover do I need this? Does it have any info not available in the corebook?

The page ranges have been setup, seems like a server side bug that should be reported to the IT team

I just bought the book, and it appears to have 150 rather than 288 pages (which is the number given here).

Tobias, I believe you are looking at the PDF. The PDF has many pages which are dual facing pages for a total count of 150pp (e.g., pages 2-3, 6-7, etc.). I believe the overall page count contained in all those pages individual page-wise (i.e., for paper copy) would be in the high 280’s, FYI.

Thank you for pointing this out to me, Guo! You are absolutely right. I hadn't noticed that.

Is the premium hardcover still available? I only see “Hardcover, Standard Color Book”. I would prefer premium paper for legibility (and avoiding bleed through). TY

FYI: the standard printing is on 70lb paper (rather than 50 lb), so the ink is absorbed very well and images look good. If there's enough demand for full premium, we may fit that in later this year.

TY! I guess I shall hold out since paper can make a difference. I also have one of your other books on order now, so I’ll have a peek at that one in “Standard Color”.

Thank you for (ultra-)fast response!

It's unfortunate that DTRPG doesn't list "standard 70" which is a hybrid between standard and premium. FYI: standard = standard ink on 50lb paper. Premium = premium ink on 70lb paper. But in book setup you can also pick a hybrid of both which is standard ink on 70lb paper which is the setup for this book. Which other title did you get so I can confirm the print type for you?

Ahh, thank you. The other book is Standard hardcover color of “ Creatures from Fairy-Tale and Myth 5e”.

That one is also standard 70, so you'll get a good idea of the printing. Enjoy!

This is perhaps the most beautiful book I own. It is an excellent resource for all who are interested in Celtic mythlore. Pendelhaven are experts in creating volumes that should transcend into mainstream booksellers. Buy the premium hardback version, you won't be disappointed.

Love the preview but think it would work better with a few pages from each section instead of the one.

Will we see a preview? Don't get me wrong, I love your work, but when regarding cash of that caliber, I really at least need to see the table of contents.

But of course! Last night was the soft-launch, today is the big public launch day, so the full config wasn't up. Now you should have both previews configured. Enjoy! :)

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
