I spotted this book on a LT thread and thought it sounded interesting. It turned out to be not quite what I was hoping for, but that's what you get when you request a book unseen from the library. This was an earlier edition without the colour plates.
I do like Celtic Art and this was a short look at the evolution of styles and continental influences and British adaptations. A good starting point, maybe a bit more scholarly than what I was looking for but I'm not sorry to have read it. I show more liked that the authors said where you could see the pieces pictured and included a bibliography of further reading. A fascinating subject that merits further study. show less
