Book description
The full story of the Celts from the seventh century BC to the Celtic renaissance in post-Roman times
Why read it?
1 author picked The World of the Celts as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The difference between an account of history and historical fiction is in the sensory images the writer conjures up for the reader --"You are there!" Searching for everyday details to “set the scene” for the novel, I found a wealth of material in this scholarly discussion of Celtic life, dwelling places and weaponry, clothing, technology, history and culture. Lots of useful illustrations here that brought family bonds and Celtic society to life for me.
From Sheila's list on Roman Britain and the Celts.
