The Celtic World,
By John R. Dineen (Manitowoc WI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Celtic World: An Illustrated History 700 B.C. to the Present (Illustrated Histories (Hippocrene)) (Hardcover)
Patrick Lavin's 'The Celtic World' is a must reading for all aficionados of Celtic heritage. His obvious lengthly research of this ancient and famous culture comes to life through his entertaining literary writing style and his intense interest in his subject matter. Drawing mainly on classical sources, and occasionally on archaeology and Celtic traditions, Lavin outlines a history of Celtic people from their emergence as a distinct culture to their literary renaissance in nineteenth century Ireland.

Very thorough treatment of the Celtic heritage,
By John L. Hoh Jr. "Author and Theologian" (Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Celtic World: An Illustrated History 700 B.C. to the Present (Illustrated Histories (Hippocrene)) (Hardcover)
Loved the thorough treatment Mr. Lavin gives the Celts in "The Celtic World." If anyone enjoyed Thomas Cahill's "How the Irish Saved Civilization," they will enjoy this volume as well.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Celtic World: An Illustrated History 700 B.C. to the Present (Illustrated Histories (Hippocrene)) (Hardcover)
This small book is loaded with great illustrations and information. For the casual reader of history, this would be a quick read and good reference to keep. I cannot attest to its authenticity, but feel comfortable in quoting from it.
