Reviews for The Duke University Medical Center Book of Arthritis

A serious work of scholarship about the Druids, the ramifications of their presence in and contributions to ancient Celtic Society has been long in coming. From the first written mention of these mysterious intermediaries between the natural and supernatural world up to present perceptions, Prof. Lonigan examines the various interpretations of druidic power and influence. He takes traditional theories, clarifies or contradicts their import, and paints a clearer, brighter picture of the Celtic world than heretofore seen. The MERLINESQUE image of the druids will fade quickly after reading Prof. Lonigan's work. It is a pleasure to find an American author who can join the ranks of Chadwick and Piggott and, perhaps, surpass their efforts! - Grace E. Cameron Celtic Heritage Books
