La femme celte

I'm blogging today about the myth of the Celtic Woman, over on Charles Stross' blog, for those who are interested. Comments are down there, at present, due to spambots, but you can comment here, if you're interested.

Skirt of the day: red and gold silk wrap.

I'd start with the work of the archaeologist Simon James, who has written a number of excellent books on the various Celtic peoples. On Ireland, Daibhi O Croinin, Early Mediaeval Ireland; on Wales, either my The Welsh Kings (as Kari Maund), or, for the later period, A D Carr, Medieval Wales. For Brittany, The Bretons, Patrick Galliou & Michael Jones.
And thank you :-)

You are very welcome.
I forgot Scotland, which was bad of me. I'd look for ALan McQuarrie, Medieval Scotland.
