Absolutely amazing book! Delivers factual history without bias. I enjoyed learning about the connections of ancient celts to the hindus.

The narrator Christopher Oxford was outstanding. Nary a word mispronounced, in English or French, and some entertaining forays into accents (Irish, Welsh and others). Although I thought I knew something about the Celts, I found from listening that many of my ideas had come from Roman propaganda. Another fascinating bit for me was the linking up of Celtic and Indic cultures. I will probably listen to this again at least once.

Mr. Peter Berresford Ellis is most certainly one the greatest Celtic apologists. The Celts are the be all end all of civilization in Mr. Ellis' mind I do believe. Interesting information but very favorable in all things Celtic. I admire the Celts as much as anyone, and my DNA has roots in Britain and Western Europe, but Mr. Ellis certainly has his Celtic bias.

The Greatest at everything everywhere.
