LE ROUX & GUYONVARC'H — The Druids — Ogam-Celticum, 1982 LE ROUX (Françoise) & GUYONVARC'H (Christian-J.). The Druids. Rennes, Ogam - Celtic Tradition / Celticum, 1982. 8vo, paperback, white printed cover, 423 pp. Third edition, published in the Celticum series, no. 14. The bibliographic entry confirms: Ogam, 1982, 3rd edition, 423 pages.

This edition also notes that the book won the Amic Prize from the Académie française in 1980. This is a specialized Ogam-Celticum edition, considerably more interesting from a bibliographic standpoint than the mass-market reprints later published by Ouest-France. Condition: good copy.
