Title: Ripping Tale
Review: This is a pretty good work of fiction; I think it can stand up very well as that and only as that. It does provide yet another point of view on the Arthurian legends and is intriguing for that reason if for no other. One should not look to it as a guidebook into the Old Ways, though. It is overly romantic in its depiction of a very warlike and brutal people whose main source of income was the raid on other clans. War was a virtue, not the NewAge Fluffbunny philosophy in this book. The author is less influenced by the ancient Celts of Central and Western Europe than he is by the Flower Children of Southern California.It's published by Llewellyn, so accruacy and credibility are not to be expected.
