Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These short tales are about the trials, successes, and failures of Celtic traders around the world. Go with them to the city of the trader Samark; visit Constantinople; meet the cheater, Fin; watch a young man build a trade empire from pink coral. Some traders were in a hierarchy where they had to claw their way to the top. Other men became traders out of necessity. Cheap goods at one place are very valuable at another. You have to know your market. You dont take jewels to trade at a turnip festival. Follow the trades of everything including snake skins, furs, salt, pearls, rubies, spices, and feathers.
