A Call to Faith and Freedom, by master storyteller and poet Shirley Roe, is one of the very rare books that can be referred to as a 'world-class novel'. The story takes place in seventh-century feudal Scotland. Invading Christians, using savage and barbaric torture and executions, try to force the conversion of the native Celts The following pages provide lists of nations or people of Celtic origin, arranged by branch of Celtic ethnicity or language grouping:

Goidelic Celts
  • list of Irish people
  • list of Scots
  • list of Manx people
Brythonic Celts
 whom these Christians consider as Pagans. And, the Celts fight back to retain their land, their way of life and their religion, which is centered on a goddess. Throughout the book, which is rich in Celtic lore, Shirley Roe demonstrates a detailed knowledge of Celtic mores, customs, philosophy and religious practices.

One of the qualities that make this book a 'world-class novel' is the ability of its author to hold the reader totally spellbound from the first to the very last page. She writes from a deep personal spirituality, a tender compassion, a profound understanding of human nature and with a poetic grace. I was unable to put the book down. I hungrily devoured it in just over twenty-four hours. There were battles between knights on horses, deaths, traitor's plots, medieval castles, deep dark forests with fairies in them and sunny green meadows with clear streams and wildflowers of every color. There was music and singing, love affairs and feasts with great tables filled with mutton mutton, flesh of mature sheep prepared as food (as opposed to the flesh of young sheep, which is known as lamb). Mutton is deep red with firm, white fat. In Middle Eastern countries it is a staple meat, but in the West, with the exception of Great Britain, Australia, , wild game and tankards of ale. There were myths about the Arch Druid Druid

Member of a learned class of priests, teachers, and judges among the ancient Celtic peoples. The Druids instructed young men, oversaw sacrifices, judged quarrels, and decreed penalties; they were exempt from warfare and paid no tribute.

 rising magically, mystically out of the early morning sun. Every conceivable human emotion is explored in an ever moving action setting. Only an author with the most vivid of imaginations could conceive of such a rich plot! It's the kind of book that you will want to share with your family and friends.

In conclusion, if you liked the Da Vinci da Vinci Surgery A surgical robot for performing certain surgeries–eg, mitral valve repair and laparoscopic procedures–eg, cholecystectomy and gastric ulcer repair. See Laparoscopic surgery, Robotics, Surgical robot.  Code by Dan Brown, or The Good Earth by Pearl Buck, you will love this book. It holds you spellbound like the Da Vinci police chase in France and explores every human passion in a simple, lovely pastoral setting; like the old rural China of The Good Earth.

 to be a run away best seller. My advice is to buy it now so that you can immediately enter the magic kingdom of Shirley Roe and for 20 or more hours be far from your cares. And, before it is republished as a hardback for $32.50!
