It is only as prehistoric archaeology has come to throw more and more light on the early civilisations of Celtic lands that it has become possible to interpret Celtic religion from a thoroughly modern viewpoint.

It is to be hoped that a new interest in the religion of the Celts may thereby be aroused. Large print 17 point font.
