My current read ...
... is Boudica: a groundbreaking biography of the true warrior queen by Vanessa Collingridge. So far, it seems to be a well considered piece, starting way back with Julius Caesar's invasion. So Collingridge is carefully setting her scene and she's also talked to various experts in the field of Celtic and Roman studies. She hasn't made the mistake (so far) of taking one particular line and making everything else fit around it. Instead, her story is a fascinating jigsaw.

That sounds well worth reading, many thanks. I was wondering whether to try and find a copy. Hope it lives up to the promising start.
I got my copy from the local library. Had to renew it though, as progress has been slow due to gadding about.
