The Children’s Fire forges a trail into Britain’s wild and ancient Celtic past. In the winter of 2009 Mac Macartney walked from his birthplace in England across Wales to the island of Anglesey, once the spiritual epicenter of Late Iron Age Britain, navigating by the sun and the stars, with no map, compass, stove, or tent, and in the coldest winter for many years.
