Its a great basic introduction to the Celts- who were a fascinating ancient people. It is easy to read, has short informative chapters and is not too academic. This features chapters on : Celtic People, Jobs/skills, Dress, Food and drink, and Rituals and Beliefs. Each chaper is then subdivided.1 Celtic people- who were the celts, historical records, society, economy/skill/trade and religion.2.Jobs/skills- farming, traders, mining, craftsmanship3.Dress- goes over typical dress of workmen, warriors, noblewomen. plus their hair and jewelry4.Food-5.Rituals and Beliefs- religion,druids, sanctuaries, church, legend, marriage and funeral ritesOverall--a brief introduction to Celtic Society. It lacks pictures and photos but the information is good.
