Please Read my review at : Everyday Life of the Pagan Celts

[Jean · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Celtic archaeologist at the top her game writes for the layman a book on the everyday life of the pagan Celts. The orderly presentation and numerous illustrations are undergirded by her enthusiasm and excitement for a field in which she had already worked for decades.

Another interesting read. I had to be careful with this book, as the pages are falling out. Unlike other books on Celts, this one went into more depth on warfare and hunting, but maybe that's why it's called "the everyday life".

Constantly revisiting this book. Intensely interesting.
