Millions of Irish-American trace their ancestry to the Celts of the British Isles, making this book a perfect book to have on the shelf for St. Patrick's Day. The cutting edge research will surprise, and ancient civilizations are a key curriculum topic in the middle grades.

The distinctive languages, art, and mythologies of the ancient Celts give archaeologists with an enduring quest in Northern Europe. The Celts rarely used their written language, passing along beliefs, knowledge, and wisdom through oral traditions. Artifact-rich burial grounds, like the megalithic tombs at Newgrange, Ireland, inscribed stones, and stone circles like Stonehenge, all yield clues to their mysterious ways.
