Irish Druids And Old Irish Religions (Forgotten Books)

This scholarly, but very readable, book covers what was known about Druids and Irish Paganism at the end of the nineteenth century. It discusses many of the concepts which later would be utilized by the Wiccan movement to construct Celtic Neo-Paganism. (Quote from sacred-texts.com)

About the Author

James Bonwick (1817 - 1906)
James Bonwick (8 July 1817 - 6 October 1906) was an English-born Australian historical and educational writer.

Bonwick was born at London, the eldest son of James and Mary Ann Bonwick. James Bonwick, the elder, was a man of some mechanical ability, but he suffered from ill health, and his children were brought up in poor circumstances. His eldest son was educated at the Borough Road school, Southwark, and at 17 years of age teaching at a school at Hemel Hempstead and similar positions followed at Bexley and Liverpool. In April 1840 he married Esther Ann Beddow, the daughter of a Baptist clergyman, and in the following year obtained a position at the Normal School, Hobart, Tasmania. (Quote from wikipedia.org)
