The Druids by Peter Berresford Ellis is a non-fiction account of the historical Druids. I bought this from a yard sale some years ago as a follow up to Freeman's book.
Started: 12/31/2012
Completed: 4/3/2013
Recommendation: Good beginning, but I gave up before the end
Recommended by: Nobody
Words I looked up:
autochthonous -- indigenous or native
primogeniture -- The right, by law or custom, of the firstborn to inherit the entire estate, to the exclusion of younger siblings.
Review:
Really good, clean set of arguments debunking some of the positions commonly held about the Druids. The author then goes one step further and starts generating his own unsubstantiated views in much the same manner as the views he debunked. I really thought the first half was good, but got frustrated with he long steps in the second half.
