The Druids by Peter Berresford Ellis Mr. Ellis' well-researched book is highly readable. Treating it's subject with respect and realism, it works to dispel mythology surrounding the druids, and gives the reader a sense of who these wise men really were and what they believed in. |

How the Irish Saved Civilization: The Untold Story of Ireland's Heroic Role From the Fall of Rome to the Rise of Medieval Europe by Thomas A. Cahill I can't say enough about this book. It pays long-overdue tribute to the early Christian Irish civilization's contribution to Europe, as during the dark ages it worked to educate and preserve knowledge for future centuries, despite it's own hardships and lack of support from Rome. Not only is it a story that needed telling, but Mr. Cahill's account is very entertaining and often moving. He paints visual images that have stuck in my mind for a long time. |
