Miranda Green is one of the few Celtic scholars who have written on the Celts in general for the public at large. Unfortunately, her work has some problems. She often goes beyond the evidence, but presents her speculations as if they were the accepted opinion. She should therefore be read carefully. In her most recent book mentioned here, Caesar's Druids, she is better about this, and the book can be read more easily.
