Its scope ranges from classic children's fantasies such as Lloyd Alexander's 'The Chronicles of Prydain' and Alan Garner's 'The Owl Service', to some of the most recent, award-winning fantasy authors of the last decade, such as Kate Thompson ('The New Policeman') and Catherine Fisher ('Darkhenge'). The book focuses on the ways these fantasy works have appropriated and adapted Irish and Welsh medieval literature in order to highlight different perceptions of "Celticity." The term "Celtic" itself is interrogated in light of recent debates in Celtic studies, in order to explore a fictional representation of a national past that is often romanticized and political. 000780036 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed March 10, 2017). 000780036 650_0 $$aChildren's stories, American$$xHistory and criticism. 000780036 650_0 $$aChildren's stories, English$$xHistory and criticism. 000780036 650_0 $$aFantasy fiction, American$$xHistory and criticism. 000780036 650_0 $$aFantasy fiction, English$$xHistory and criticism. 000780036 650_0 $$aMythology, Celtic, in literature. 000780036 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aFimi, D.$$tCeltic myth in contemporary children's fantasy.
