Picts [Paperback]Anna Ritchie (Author) ISBN-10: 0114934916ISBN-13: 978-0114934910Review:This book is a very good source of information on the Picts. This book contains something that many other books do not, lots of pictures with accurate information. Anyone who is interested in the Picts, but does not live where their history comes from would do well with this book. The full color pictures accompanied by well written and thought out information is well worth the buy. The book gives a well rounded perception of the Picts.Review:The Picts haven't gotten much press or TV time, but they truly were a fascinating people. Hadrian's Wall was built against them, and the Romans never managed to conquer them. They're the original Blue Man Group. The best part of their cultural legacy, IMO, is their sculptural work. The stone carvings that they left behind are intricate and mysterious, ultimately developing into the Celtic form. The book Picts is lavishly supplied with quality photographs of the best of this art form. Most extant examples, and they are numerous, are preserved in various locales throughout Scotland. If you like ancient mysteries, this book is worth a look - highly recommended.
