Your readers may blink in surprise, and gasp in astonishment…

… but you DO want to be that Writer!

Thanks to Geoffrey of Monmouth in the twelfth century, William Stukeley in the eighteenth, Madame Blavatsky in the nineteenth and Robert Graves in the twentieth (to name but a few), and to a number of sixteenth century writers who wanted to captivate readers with thrilling, hair-raising tales (and thereby increase sales of their books!) we now have all sorts of incorrect 'facts' about the Celts floating around.

But within minutes of reading The 33 Worst Mistakes Writers Make about the Celts by Lisa Lawler, YOU'LL have a solid foundation of who the Celts really were and how they viewed the world in which they lived.

For instance, did you know that:

• Celtic Druids weren't simply priests?
• The Celts invented mail shirts (incorrectly known as chain mail)?
• The Irish Celts had a very complex system of laws (commonly known as the Brehon Laws) which are believed to date from the Bronze Age?
• The Brehon Laws recognised at least nine different types of marriage?
• The Druids did NOT build Stonehenge or Newgrange?

The 33 Worst Mistakes Writers Make about the Celts reveals intriguing facts about:

• Celtic society and law;
• religious beliefs and practices;
• the Druids - who they were and what they did;
• what the Otherworld meant to the Celts;
• how they felt about death; and
• the main characters and themes in the literature of the Irish Celts.

As a Writer, you can use the truth to
create authentic Celt-inspired plots!
