Book Reviews of In Search of Ancient Ireland: The Origins of the Irish from Neolithic Times to the Coming of the English
Book Review: A Trip into the Past
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book. However, the first half is a great deal more so. That half has the author visit ancient sights being accompanied by archeologists & other experts as well as local folk who add color and humor to the tours.The experts who study the growth rings of trees for the past 2000 years, reveal some astounding facts!
The middle section, dealing with Christians and straight forward history, is less revealing. I must admit, however, I have little interest in the Christians--the Pagans are far more fascinating.
The final section, dealing with the Viking Invasion & rule; covers facts I had no knowledge of. I also found out that my last name, Reynolds, is a very common Viking/Irish name...but that's merely me.
This book will make you want to travel; to many of the places mentioned...and I am, in June.
Randolph Reynolds

Summary of In Search of Ancient Ireland: The Origins of the Irish from Neolithic Times to the Coming of the English
The history, archaeology, and legends of ancient Ireland from 9000 B.C., when nomadic hunter-gatherers appeared in Ireland at the end of the last Ice Age, to 1167 A.D., when a Norman invasion brought the country under control of the English crown for the first time. The book also looks at contemporary Ireland's connection with the country's past. Companion to the PBS documentary series. Well-written...integrates the talents of distinguished anthropologists, archaeologists, and historians....Contains new and fascinating material challenging many myths. --Lawrence J.
