Joy Chant (born 13 January 1945) is a British fantasy writer . She is best known for the three House of Kendreth novels, published 1970 to 1983 .

A high drama book about the extrodinary history of the Celts. Book contains wonderful illustrations by George Sharp. Nice overwiew of the pre-Arthur time of Great Britain. I really enjoyed the little known stories, most of them being pretty thorough and inspiring, beyond simple fairy tales. I also read with a lot of pleasure the short sociological facts about Celtic society and traditions, which give the reader just enough insight. Fascinating and wonderfully entertaining.

A very enjoyable collection of Anglo-Saxon stories, framed around King Arthur. A great deal of historical and anthropological information intertwined in the tales. Recommended for anyone who likes Arthurian lore or England between the Roman retreat and the Norman invasion.

Er, this is concerning the Celts. Yep, violence! Yep, different marriage styles (sexual content?)! Yep, this is wonderful stuff! Buy it, or at least find it at the library, make your own decision on it, then buy it here, because you'll probably love it, especially if your ancestry includes the Welsh, the Scots, the Irish, the Bretons, the Cornish, the Iberians, the Gauls, the--wow, those Celts got around, didn't they? ;->

BTW, that Joy Chant gal, she sure can write! :D

Excellent reference for High kings of Great Britain that draws on, but disparages Ireland's role in history.

Nice overwiew of the pre-Arthur time of Great Britain. I really enjoyed the little known stories, most of them being pretty thorough and inspiring, beyond simple fairy tales. I also read with a lot of pleasure the short sociological facts about Celtic society and traditions, which give the reader just enough insight. Am not totally convinced that these short essays are all that accurate, but this book is not a dry scholar paper so I can forgive some freedom...

Gold as Heart

What a lovely overwiew of Celtic culture. The author alternates between short, intriguing essays on Celtic society and traditions, and actual Celtic stories. The ballance is perfect. The reader is given just enough background to understand each story. By the end of the book, though, a detailed impression of these remarkable people has been woven. The shcolarship is never pretentious or dull, and the stories are told with a sensitivity that avoids any awkwardness in dealing with subjects like magic. The stories are products of the Celtic culture and are presented in that context. They appear, not as childish fairy tales, but as rich and vibrant reminders of a culture that thrived in Britain for about a thousand years.

Teonyo

This book is a visual delight to anyone curious about the Celts.
It includes little known legends ,and lavish illustration.
There are few books that provide such a vivid doorway,to the shrouded past.
