Thanks. What books do you recommend about the Celts?

I recently read the Warrior Queens- because I've had an interest in Boadicea since I saw a program on her on PBS. I loved being able to see her statue in person. What a thrill that was.

Of course she was a Queen of the Iceni and not the Celts.

Here's a fun snippet I found about the book:

"Let this scene from the revolt of Boudicca fire your imagination: "the captured Roman women had their breasts sliced off and sewn to their faces so it would appear they were eating them; then they were skewered alive and strung up longways." No surprise that the career of Margaret Thatcher inspired this work."
