description: Although some aspects of pre-Roman and pre-Christian beliefs remain shrouded in mystery the author of this comprehensive profusely illustrated volume contends that neither the Roman invasion of Britain nor the coming of Christianity eliminated pagan religious practice. Dr. Anne Ross writes from wide experience of living in Celtic-speaking communities where she has traced vernacular tradition. She employs archaeological and anthropoligical evidence as well as folklore to provide broad insight into the early Celtic world.
