    Another Moffat Masterpiece, read it now!
  

*by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2016*

Just when I thought I had read everything relevant to Celtic culture, along comes this work by Alistair Moffat and literally blows my mind. And he had already done that with another work I had read lately. He is amazing.Once one gets used to the image of the "inner sea" including the coasts of Eastern and Northern Ireland, Western Cornwall, Wales, Scotland and Mann, it is obvious that there was an entire kingdom with links to and defined by the sea (as a primal and efficient highway) and that those links go very far back in time, and extend as far away as the north coast of Europe and even the Americas(!).As I am coming to discover - this is the second book of his I've lately devoured - Moffat can feed you a lot of well researched information and make it entertaining at the same time. This was literally a "page turner" for me. I wish all history could combine cultural information with such detail and mature analysis, and then make it readable. He certainly doesn't disappoint.Want to know why the Lords of the Isles were considered an "independent" kingdom for so long, or why the Romans sent legions to annihilate the Druids at Anglesey? Or who might actually have "discovered" America and Iceland even before the Vikings? Or, for that matter, who the first Viking-style raiders were - spoiler alert they were Picts and Northern Irish in the 400s - just too many great details and too much history here to give away; or ignore.  What part did the Church play in the decline of Celtic culture, and how well and where has Celtic culture survived?Get the book, and you'll be glad you did. I sure was.

    Quite good, engaging read, if slightly disjointed.
  

*by A***M on Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2005*

If 'The History of Celtic Britain and Ireland' is at all of interest to you, then I highly recommend this book. The author has got a real feel for the subject. Sometimes you are along with him on a journey into areas of Celtic history where he travels to get the personal feel of the place. It is not a dry read at all, quite the opposite -- real humor, grief, other emotions are communicated -- a magical experience at times. Sometimes the thread of the story takes the reader from ancient times, now the 18th century, now again in pre-history. I do not mind that, actually, but some might not get why the author finds that kind of narration necessary. I read just before this book, "Arthur and the Lost Kingdoms", and I did not expect as much repetition from that book in "The Sea Kingdoms" as I found; it is not entire chapters used over, but simply some illustrations, never much more that a paragraph of material, and always reworded a little. To summarize, I find this to be an excellent history, as its title promises, with some ideosyncrasies that are not a big hurdle for an interested reader.

    Very interesting but jumps around a bit
  

*by D***E on Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2009*

I enjoyed this book and a few of my relatives have borrowed it and read it.  We all agree that the book could be laid out a bit better.  All of what is written is interesting, but the chapters don't seem to follow a logical order of telling.  Each chapter strives to make certain points, some of which were made by earlier chapters and just re-inforced.  Even if I were to try to say that it fit a pattern of celtic art, it still doesn't seem to work.  The writing style is a relaxed first person who visits places and then also discusses some of the places' history.  Based on other books that I've read on the subject, I feel that it was missing some important points and views.  I did find the stress on the languages as a root of the culture to be perceptive.
