| Summary: | "Drawing on a wide variety of sources, this book provides an accessible account of daily life in the Celtic world including its structure, its territories and cultures and the interrelationships of these tribes and lands, the roles within each society, including warriors, farmers, craftsmen (who still influence fashions today), slaves, women and children. Detail is given of religion and superstition, feasts and festivals, burial practices, building, domestic life, family customs, marriage, the raising of children and more. The decline of the Celts and the re-emergence of Celtic cultural traditions in the modern era are also examined."--BOOK JACKET. |
