The Druids

Ellis's writing style can be a bit frustrating for the pagan reader, but as a student of history I found this book most enjoyable. The author's theories about the similarities between Celtic and Indian culture are, if nothing else, intriguing. I feel that the material was presented in the manner intended: as a sampling of the evidence that will hopefully inspire others to do the research for themselves. As a Celtic reconstructionist pagan, I personally share his views on "new agers" claiming to follow a Celtic path. A triumphant book that delivers us from the New Age dregs of revisionist religion to at least a plausible level of ancient custom.

Of the books published for this decade, this tops the charts in both research, and it's being a flowing book. In that, I am referring to the fact that unlike predecessors by other authors, this book actually reads well. It's a moving historical work that gives the facts/fiction/and dramatic in both. P.B-Ellis has excelled himself in this work
