Reviews

[Francis · Rating 3 out of 5]

Passable information about the Celtic people, but not a lot that seemed unique to Celtic cultures — mostly things like “they are wine and farmed and had homes”. I did enjoy the illustrations and all the pictures of art found by archeologists.

Great little book about the Celts, from their origins through their decline. Lots of step by step projects throughout.
