Title: Irish Druids and Old Irish Religions
Description: Pagan Ireland was full of wonders that have somehow escaped the mass consciousness, and Irish Druids and Old Irish Religions documents them, elucidating controversies and tracing ideas to their roots. Although Bonwick draws heavily from anthropological research, historians, and ancient manuscripts, he does not discount the value of folklore and oral tradition. With them, he endeavors to peer further back in time than is possible with Irish literature, the earliest of which is placed between the fifth and eighth centuries AD. Irish Druids and Old Irish Religions is, therefore, a great leap forward in its field, and is considered superior to the antiquarian books of its era.
