When Rome was still a struggling state, the whole of central and western Europe was inhabited by great warlike tribes of Celts; after the birth of the Roman Republic, they crossed the English Channel to settle in Britain and Ireland. A thousand years later, the once-powerful Celts had virtually disappeared as an independent people. Only on the fringes of Europe did they manage to maintain their racial traits and their language -- in Wales, Cornwall, Brittany, the Isle of Man, and Ireland. In Exploring Celtic Britain, Denise Stobie takes the reader to the places where Celtic remains can still be seen. In the process, she reveals not only the history of the sites themselves, but also much about the Celts' beliefs and their way of life. Lavishly illustrated with color photos, this is a visual feast for anyone interested in this age-old culture.
