Description
Review
Finally, a book that separates fact from mythology, telling us what we can and cannot know about the ancient Druids. This remarkable book by a leading historian of the Celts offers much for the academician as well as the general reader. Fascinating reading! (Joseph A. King, author of Ireland to North America)
Readable and well-researched… a useful guide… (- Count Nikolai Tolstoy Times Higher Education Supplement)
