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.
