Summary: "The Druidess: A Story for Boys and Others" by Florence Gay is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in a tumultuous period between the Britons and the Saxons during the late 6th century, featuring key characters such as Cormac, a young Briton prince, and Ethne, a Druidess with a fierce loyalty to pagan traditions. The story explores themes of identity, faith, and the dichotomy between paganism and Christianity against a backdrop of battle and cultural conflict. At the start of the narrative, we find ourselves amid a fierce battle on the shores of Britain, where Cormac, a brave young leader, and Ethne, a skilled Druidess, are caught in the chaos. The Britons are losing ground to the Saxons, and both men and women fight with desperation and valor. Following a harrowing defeat, Cormac is gravely wounded but is rescued by Ethne and a Saxon woman. As the story progresses, the focus shifts to Cormac's recovery as he grapples with his identity and the tension between his Christian upbringing and Ethne's Druidic beliefs. The opening sets the stage for an exploration of complex relationships, the clash of cultures, and the fight for survival in a world torn apart by war and ideology.
