Celtic Ancient Origins: Stories of People & Civilization by Martin J. Dougherty & Prof. Ralph Haeussler (Flame Tree Collector's Editions)
Though we may acknowledge the Celtic heritage of Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Spain and France, and be familiar with the mythology that has given us Arthurian legend and all manner of boastful gods, High Kings, wilful Queens, noble warriors, fairies, goblins and wizards, few of us are aware that the origins of the Celtic people lie in Austria, or that the many tribes have a history spanning much further afield, to ancient Greece and Egypt. This fascinating volume covers the history that has fed the legends: the origins, migrations, allegiances, society, culture, myths and literature of the Celts, from the "Hallstatt Era" beginning in 1200 BCE to the Gaels of western Scotland and northeastern Ireland and eventual Christianisation.
A beautiful edition taking the reader through the origins and history of the mighty Celts, known at the time of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar, this striking companion to Celtic Myths & Legends highlights the origins of modern fiction in myth and fable. The Flame Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction: authors, myths, tales and history without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library.
