Yet, their legacy, filled with culture, strength, and resilience, is the true foundation of modern Britain.

Explore the hidden secrets of their hill forts, learn about their battles against the powerful Roman Empire, and see how they survived in a harsh and ever-changing world. From the daily lives of the tribes to the mystical rituals of the Druids, this audiobook brings the Britons' world to life in a way that’s easy to understand and hard to forget.
