Relive the magic of captivating legends and folktales in this rich collection on Celtic Mythology
In 58 BCE, when Julius Caesar – the famous Roman general – wrote a commentary on the Gallic wars, he described the “Celt” speaking people who lived in the area then known as the Gaul.
These people had their own culture, gods, and beliefs – called Celtic Mythology – which were very different from the Romans.
The influence of this mythology, however, was not limited to a small territory. This culture spread across Europe, especially to the western nations of Britain, Ireland, France, and Spain.
The legacy of Celts is still alive, and you may even have encountered these traces of Celtic culture:
- The languages spoken by modern-day Irish, Scottish, and Welsh people
- King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table
- The legends and pop-culture depictions of the shrieking spirit of Banshee
- Conan the Barbarian, a very famous character appearing in films as well as comics
- Bran Stark, from Game of Thrones, who becomes the Three-eyed Raven
The above examples are just a handful of successors from the ancient Celtic culture, and the last two draw direct inspiration from Celtic mythology.
And there’s even more from where those came from…

This book is very interesting. It is unbelievable to know that you are reading about the very first civilisation, the Sumerians, who had 39 firsts including the invention of writing, irrigation and the wheel etc. You learn a lot about the different, city-states, kings, wars, gods, creation myths and a lot more etc. A valuable read. I highly recommend!

I have read many books on Sumeria and the Biblical world (Mesopotamia). This book is excellent. Easy to read and very informative. It also contains many helpful illustrations. Recommended.

This is an interesting read, but a bit dry in its telling. While this is a history of The Sumerian Civilisation and no doubt aimed at the Scholastic it needs to be a bit more rounded. Perhaps paint a picture of daily life for all.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This book contains some interesting facts but the writing style is unengaging and rather basic. A large collection of facts have been cobbled together, resulting in a book which almost reads like a list, with short sentences and endless figures (areas in both acres and hectares!). Some of the hypotheses are not well evidenced or explained and the book obviously hasn’t been proof read. Considering this is an entry level book, terms and abbreviations would benefit from definitions. A missed opportunity- this could have been a pleasant read with some good editing.

I would highly recommend this book. It was a well written overview of the subject. The maps and pictures let the book down due to their lack of clarity.I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Great Overview
This book is a general overview of Sumerian history. It isn’t an in-depth, detailed account of the fullness of Sumerian history, but it is definitely informative enough for those who (like myself) have already studied Sumerian history and culture and just need a quick run-through book as this to refresh their memory, or for those who may just be getting started in the subject and need sturdy information to feed their curiosity. Overall, it serves a very practical purpose and is indeed useful.

Good reading but suspicious content
Although I enjoyed reading it, I can’t recommend it to others.The book has no references neither to any author nor to any external resource. It felt so weird reading history with no references. Almost certain that it was written by AI.It very likely contains misinformation as well. Shouldn’t be read as a resource of education.
