Boudicca

Summary: How Christianity got it!
Review: While Boudicca's problems are the main theme, the book gives a well researched but untypical and sometimes startling view of what the Brits and Romans were really like. The secondary theme is about the invasion of Christians (still jews in those days) and how their message of love and healing got 'organized' into competing churches by the squabbling Druids. It makes you see how Christianity got adulterated by well meaning people with their own axes to grind. I would class this book as serious but it has lots of extremely funny passages about Owain the Druid's lovelife, the cross eyed Brennius' duel in a ten foot deep ford, and the stealing of a Roman legion's sacred eagle by the Red Branch knights. Improbable but funny.
