Book Review: The Sacred World of the Celts

I bought the book, The Sacred World of the Celts, at the last minute while looking for rune books (found one by the same author…The Complete Illustrated Guide to Runes). The illustrations (something my other Celtic history books do not have) really drew me to this book.

The book itself is basic, but wonderfully done. It is a great intro for those just starting out in Celtic studies - the chapters being quick and to the point, as well as a quick reference for those more learned in Celtic history.
The illustrations and photography are beautiful, and coupled with the descriptions, just took me right into the world of the ancient Celts. I wanted to visit the British Isles before, but now, I’m aching for it!
