The Celts were a colorful and warlike people, constantly on the move, spreading out from their original homelands in central Europe. They brought to Ireland new customs and beliefs, crafts and skills, tools and weapons of iron, and the Celtic language. This book tells of their home life, work and political structures, and leisure activities.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent overview of ancient Irish Celtic life.,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Celtic Way of Life (Paperback)
This small (72 pp.)book contains an incredible amount of information about life in Ireland 2500 years ago. The daily life of the Celts -- housing, work, play, social rules, and more -- are clearly explained. Black and white illustrations (drawings and photographs)supplement the text, as does the occasional quotation from a contemporary source or translated poem.A good resource for teachers and independently usable by middle schoolers and strong elementary readers. An important addition to a generally expensive list of books about the Celts. (This edition is reprinted from a 1976 publication of the Curriculum Development Unit in Dublin.)
4.0 out of 5 stars
Simple glance to inspire further study,
This review is from: Celtic Way of Life (Paperback)
At as few pages as this book is written, you could expect a lot less, but "Celtic Way of Life" delivers the facts plainly, in a very middle-school text-book manner. Not to say it would bore any other reader with its simplicity -it keeps a steady pace and stays in focus. It only scratches the surface, and that very lightly, but I still see it as a valuable book for someone who wishes to look at the archaeological evidence in the ways of living and every day Celtic life -rather than derrive it from folklore and mythology.
