The Celts have been a topic of great fascination, speculation, and misunderstanding, from the ancient Romans to the present day.  However, through the use of a multitude of evidence, Barry Cunliffe aims to reveal the true nature of this intriguing people. In this concise book, he explores topics such as trade, migration, and the evolution of Celtic traditions. Along the way, he sheds light on how societal needs have influenced our perceptions of the Celts, and delves into the lives of well-known figures such as St. Patrick, Cu Chulainn, and Boudica.  Cunliffe examines the history of the Celts from their ancient origins to the present day.

NOTE: this is a new book but it does have some cover damage for which we have discounted the price.

Barry Cunliffe is Professor of European Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, Oxford University, and a Trustee of the British Museum.
