A Brief History of the Druids
« on: May 15, 2013, 01:31:12 am »
Hi,

I'm currently reading A Brief History of the Druids by Peter Berresford Ellis and I was wondering if any of you have read it and what you thought about it? Did you consider the history and his conclusions to be reliable?

Thanks,
Rocquelaire

I vaguely remember this book, and I thought it was good.

Ellis is one of the more competent researchers out there. While he's not at the top of my list for Celtic studies, he is in the top 5.
