5.0 out of 5 stars The Celts, April 2, 2001

This review is from: The Celts: Conquerors of Ancient Europe (Discoveries (Abrams)) (Paperback)

A great book full of information. While nothing new is really covered in this book, it all having been said before, it is written from a European perspective instead of a British or Irish one. Where it stands out is in its document section at the end which provides easy access to many of the classical quotations on the Celts. It is also crammed to the gills with high quality colour photographs of Celtic artifacts and classical statues of Celts. It makes an attractive addition to any Celtophile's library and at the same price as many inferior books on the same subject is a must have.
