This review is from: Celtic: A Comparative Study of the Six Celtic Languages, Irish, Gaelic, Manx, Welsh, Cornish, Breton Seen Against the Background of Their History, Literature and Destiny (Hardcover)

One gets the impression that the author wrote this book mostly for his own entertainment - he's fascinated with Celtic languages and wants to write about them. He has no particular point to make other than to share the joys of initial mutations etc. with whoever will listen. The result is a very entertaining book, not particularly scholarly, but certainly informative and the reader comes away with a good overview of the subject.
