Book Reviews of A Brief History of the Druids (Brief History, The)
Book Review: Most Sound Critical Thinking
Summary: 5 Stars
Hello,
I've read this book with eagerness and passion. It has never been dry though very academic. The theories in there are the result of some of the best critical thinking of our day. It has always been respectful of the celts and mindful of common historical anomalies.
Summary of A Brief History of the Druids (Brief History, The)
Shrouded in legend, the mysterious cult of the ancient Druids continues to fascinate, inspiring latter-day imitators who often are only a poorly researched and romantic reflection of Druidic lore. In this compelling and readable history, respected Celtic scholar Peter Berresford Ellis explores who the Druids really were and what role they played in the Celtic world. Ellis provides a fresh and convincing interpretation of the facts, based on both archaeological and etymological findings. "Remarkable ... offers much for the academician as well as the general reader. Fascinating reading!"-Joseph A. King, author of Ireland to North America
