Who Are the Celts?

Abstract

This title has a familiar ring. It might announce a very different kind of book, one of a series through which a publishing house hoped to turn ethnic variety into book sales. The series might include other titles like ‘Who are the Greeks? — the Egyptians? — the Germans?’ The form of the books in this series would be similar, telling the story of a people from their origin to modern times, passing, with illustrations, through the ups and downs of history.
