E. M. Wilmot-Buxton was a gifted storyteller and historical writer whose passion for myth and legend helped preserve the rich narrative traditions of ancient Europe. Writing during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Wilmot-Buxton brought a scholarly yet deeply imaginative voice to the retelling of classical, Norse, and Celtic myths for a new generation of readers. In Old Celtic Tales, Wilmot-Buxton channels the spirit of the bard-reviving Ireland's heroic age with vivid prose, deep respect for oral tradition, and a flair for the epic. Through this collection, she offered readers a portal into a time of warriors and wise women, gods and monsters, where the land itself shimmered with magic.Though much of her personal life remains a mystery, her enduring works have continued to inspire lovers of folklore, mythology, and timeless storytelling across the decades.
