Blood of the Celts Summary

Blood of the Celts: The New Ancestral Story by Jean Manco

The heritage of the Celts turns up from Portugal to Romania, from Scotland to Spain. Yet debate continues about who exactly were the Celts, where ultimately they came from, and whether the modern Celtic-speakers of the British Isles and Brittany are related to the Continental Celts we know from ancient history. So a fresh approach is needed. Blood of the Celts meets this challenge, pulling together evidence from genetics, archaeology, history and linguistics in an accessible and illuminating way, taking the reader on a voyage of discovery from the origins of the ancient Celts to the modern Celtic Revival, with some startling results.

Blood of the Celts Reviews

'Thoughtful, thought-provoking, erudite yet accessible, with an engaging style' - Miranda Aldhouse-Green
'Jean Manco is a phenomenon. In Blood of the Celts she sieves the swirling murk of academic specialisms to extract the gold. Once again she proves to be an excellent interpreter of interesting times' - David Miles
