The Ancient Paths: Discovering the Lost Map of Celtic Europe by Graham Robb
3.0
Graham Robb clearly has a passion for Celtic Britain and his love shows through in his language and writing style. I found the book to make excessive use of overly descriptive language however, which made the well reasoned arguments sometimes get lost in its flowery analysis.
Perhaps this choice of language was deliberate in order to disguise the highly speculative nature of Robb's thesis, however it made it rather difficult and long winded to read.
It is certainly a book that I can recommend for those interested in early British history, but it did fail to keep my interest for any length of time.
