A highly collectible first edition of Celtic Myth and Legend: Poetry & Romance by Charles Squire, published by The Gresham Publishing Company, London, circa 1905. This edition is especially prized for its elaborate gilt-stamped Art Nouveau binding, featuring intertwined knotwork and decorative motifs with strong symbolism rooted in Celtic tradition.

Richly illustrated with full-colour frontispiece and decorative borders throughout. The contents span mythology, heroic sagas, and ancient lore of the Celtic world, including Irish, Welsh, and Arthurian traditions. A classic example of early 20th-century revivalist interest in pre-Christian mythology and legend.
