[very nice copy, only light wear to book, mostly at spine ends; jacket has only some minor wrinkling near bottom of front panel, faint darkening of half-inch-wide strip along bottom edge due to bleed-through from original plastic protective covering adhered to interior edges of jacket]. (line drawings, maps, B&W photographic plates) "A magnificent work of scholarship which brings much needed form and order to the highly miscellaneous and heterogeneous evidence for religious beliefs in the British Isles. The study considers the nature of the places of worship of the Celts, and discusses the changes brought about in them by the coming of the Romans. Gods and goddesses are described, as well as the animals so much venerated by the Celts as the gods' companions. The book ends with a study of these various cults and divinities in one area of Roman Britain, against a background of the prevailing social and economic conditions of the region."
