Celtic Wales explores the early history of Wales from its Celtic Iron Age beginnings until the early medieval period. It engages with controversial current issues such as the `Celtic Debate' (whether or not it is valid to call later prehistoric Europe, including Wales, `Celtic'). It places Wales in its wider European context, explaining shared and divergent values, belief-systems and communication with the wide world. The book takes as its building-blocks of evidence both ancient and medieval literature and archaeology, with a final chapter that looks at the fascinating world of Celtic mythology in Wales. The text is complemented by superb and informative illustrations.
