Query: dull & boring read; suited to scholarly types only

After a trip to Ireland & Scotland this spring, I thought it would be interesting to find out about Irish & Scottish history, mythology, etc. This book is a discussion of Irish & Welsh myths. It is lacking in actual texts of stories. Instead it contains (at least the parts that I have read) only condensed, abbreviated forms of these tales with all of the exciting storytelling taken out. The authors did, however, give a good enough description of the storytelling culture to make me want to go back and hear the original stories (if there are still any storytellers left). Overall, I would suggest finding something a little more interesting, although this might be useful for someone performing research on the topic.
