5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book, March 28, 1999

By A Customer

This is a historical reference book, but also carries an air of open-mindedness about the actuallity of saint's miracles, druid magick, etc. It is a fantastically illustrated book and I highly reccomend it to anyone intereseted in the ancient Celts.

5.0 out of 5 stars AN AWESOME BOOK!!!!!!!, July 24, 2001

By	Irish505 "Dennis" (syracuse, new york United States) - See all my reviews

I found this book to be quite helpful to me while I was learning all about my ancestors. It tells you almost everything known about the Celts and if anyone is interested in Celtic Culture, history, or religon I recommend it to you. It is a great book to start out with and to get a clear view on who the Celts actually were, not misconceptions.

5.0 out of 5 stars The must have..., June 16, 1999

By A Customer

I began an interest in the Celtic way of life, and of their decendants several years ago. I've found this to be the one book that is true to life. It tells it like it is, or was. The Celts were strong, often violent...none of that seems to matter here.
