Review quote
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 *
