In Search of the Dark Ages
by Michael Wood
This was the first work that I ever read on Roman and post-Roman Britain: exciting and yet sensible. A spin-off from a particularly successful television series that remains both a curse and inspiration for every new programme on the Celts and the early medieval island.

The best books on The Celts, recommended by Simon Young
In telling the story of the Celts, it’s challenging to separate history from legend, says writer and historian Simon Young. And yet, we do have evidence of cities burned to the ground and decapitated statues, as well as books written at the time. He takes us to the land of Boudicca, King Arthur and Merlin, and explains why Irish monks took to the sea to find deserted islands.
