British History/Pre-Roman Britain

Question
Do you know a good book about daily life in pre-Roman Britain? I can only find books on mythology and art.

Answer
Hello Isobel.
The only book I've got that goes into any detail about pre-Roman Britain is Mysterious Britain by Janet and Colin Bord published by Paladin. It deals with the major pre-Roman sites in the British Isles but also has some information on life at that time.
In the Selected Reading List it mentions a number of books that ought to have more info, including two more by Paladin, The Origins of Britain and Celtic Britain, but I've not read any of them personally.

Expertise

I have a good basic knowledge of British political history, but my speciality is the Kings and Queens of England and Scotland from 927 AD. Please no social history questions, it's not my strong point and I'm unlikely to answer them.
