On Furphies: what we really don't know about the 'Celts'

[la_marquise]

I have my professional hat on, today, over on the SF Novelists blog. I'm talking about the concept of 'Celts', the origin of myths about their history and the law around women. You can find the article here. You can comment here or there.

SKirt of the day: flippy blurred floral.

I hereby dare you to read Fraser. He is the Source. I read the short version of the Golden Bough in my teens and it explained an awful lot about Graves. Mary Renault and others.
The reigning king of 'you what?' books about the Celts is Celtic Heritage, Alwyn and Brinley Rees. Wonderfully wrong.

I only read such things for pay.
