Celtic Connections

Celtic Connections presents the story of the Celtic peoples of Europe in a fascinating and informative blend of text, colour photographs and illustrations. It tells of their beginnings, and expansion across Europe and into the British Isles, detailing their achievements, monuments, and the ongoing Celtic legacy found in modern life.
Although largely confined to western parts of Britain, Ireland and mainland Europe, the Celtic influence is widespread. Interest in the Celtic arts, traditions, religion and teaching has recently undergone a tremendous revival, with a parallel upsurge in Celtic music and languages. With people of Celtic origins now living all over the world, there is a considerable audience for knowledge on all matters Celtic.
This book is the ideal starting point for those seeking that knowledge. Drawn from material and contributions from David James's innovative magazine of the same name, it is a treasure trove of historical, spiritual and aesthetic information. Coupled with the authoritative text are striking colour images from Simant Bostock's unique photographic collection of ancient Celtic sites, artifacts, monuments and buildings. Additional illustrations and photographs complete an enthralling and rich assembly of Celtic connections.
