I know there is a book thread, but can anyone recommend some good books on Tales or Legends, or perhaps some websites? I'm having trouble finding any...

I don't know if this is the kind of book you're looking for, but I recently read:
Daughter of Ireland
by Juilene Osborne-McKnight
It could be described as historical fiction- based on druidry and the fenian army. I don't know how accurate it is- but it seemed like the author did a lot of research for it (there was a section about the real people and events portrayed in the book.)
This was actually what rekindled my intrest in paganism. I must admit, it's not the best written book, a better author might have captured the characters and used words better, but nonetheless it was a entertaining, quasieducational book!
