The Celtic nation has a rich history of folklore, with Celtic folk tales, fairy tales, and mythology that has remained popular for years, largely because of the imaginative and compelling world contained in the legends. The stories are gathered from Celtic individuals that were told over and over through generations, collected by authors such as Joseph Jacobs.

Celtic tales often have fairies, elves, giants, goblins, and other magical beings. The stories often depict heroics, adventure and romance. Magic was an overall theme, and appears in more than a few tales.
