The Scottish folklorist J.F. Campbell pieced together the tale of the Celtic Dragon, an intricate oft-told story involving not just dragons but mermaids, giants, and "sidhe" (fairies).
This story, or portions ther, is found in many Indo-European folklore traditions, as far afield as India.
Campbell includes not only his merged narrative, but original Gaelic texts for two of the episodes.
Campbell is best known for his four volume Popular Tales of the Western Highlands, also available at this site.
The book includes a contribution by George Henderson, the Gaelic text and an English translation of the related tale of Fraoch and the Dragon.
