The Celts by Frank Delaney

Description

They have been called one of the great barbarian peoples of the world. An impression of the Celts persists which portrays them as wild, warlike, ferocious and uncivilised – in their latter manifestations much given to drink, song and entertainment. Despite their numerical smallness the author contends that they made a major contribution to Western civilization.

With lavish colour and black and white illustrations, The Celts aims to trace the origin, growth, flowering and eventual decline of the Celts, a people who are traditionally portrayed as wild, excitable, warlike, ferocious and uncivilized.
