Druid Shaman Priest: Metaphors of Celtic Paganism - Leslie Ellen Jones

Hardcover, 256 pages, Hisarlik Press, July 1998, ISBN: 1874312273

There are a few books on Celtic mythology that focus on the pagan elements of the literature and yet succeed in being scholarly and balanced at the same time, this is one such book. It deals with the interesting pagan material in an academic and approachable manner. For example, in chapter 1, "Who Were the Celts and What Were They Up To?" she guides the reader through the relevant literary and archaeological evidence and distinguishes the parameters of current scholarly opinion. In this chapter, as elsewhere in the book, Jones links representations in classical and Celtic literature, and employs sources, both classical and Celtic, which are not commonly cited.
