title: The Pagan Religions of the Ancient British Isles: Their Nature and Legacy
author:  Ronald Hutton 
description: Hutton (British history, Bristol Univ.) offers an excellent, up-to-date compendium on British pagan religions based primarily upon recent archaeological findings. Various pre-Christian religions in the British Isles throughout history are discussed beginning as far back as 30,000 B.C., when carvings on portable objects first seem to have appeared. Hutton continues coverage through the Roman influence and the eventual advance of Christianity, which coincided with the disappearance of the pagan religions from the British Isles. He closes with a discussion of the remaining influences and traces of the early pagan religions. Hutton has contributed a well-documented resource which has popular interest. Recommended for most libraries.<br /><i>- Paula I. Nielson, Loyola Mary mount Univ. Lib., Los Angeles</i><br />Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
