2.0 out of 5 stars A tough read, October 3, 2003

This review is from: The British Settlement of Brittany: The First Bretons in Armorica (Paperback)
Translated from the French of the authors, this book suffers from the unsuccessful results. The translation is choppy and the text subsequently hard to follow. Several of the authors have backgrounds in geology so the rocks of Britanny figure prominently in a book you would expect to be about ancient sources and archaeology in the ground, not the ground itself.

The subject matter is very interesting regarding the Dark Age migrations of the British to Britanny. The major written sources, their limitations and silent periods are discussed in detail.

The authors assume the reader has a working familiarity with Britanny's geography and its post-Dark Age past. I could only give the book two stars due to its various difficulties.
