"A good source book for those interested in learning about the druids, their beliefs and practices in history. The book is difficult to read and does not entertain the reader as much as it could, but it is a valuable account of this particular section of human belief systems."
"Peter Berresford Ellis' book A Brief History of the Druids is an excellent resource for anyone wishing to enter the world of the ancient Druids, their origins, and their place in the stage of ancient world history. This book is an excellent, if academic starting point for the layperson, historian, academic, or practicing pagan. It is an excellent beginning place for the reader who is striving to learn more about the ancient Druids. Although this book does seem to be a bit one sided, in favor of the Celtics, and has some glaring flaws, it is, for the most part, fairly well-researched and even goes so far as to have photos in the middle of some of the things which are discussed in the book. It was a difficult book, which due to its academic tone, may put off many readers, but upon getting through it, one finds it well worth the effort."
"This book fully fleshes out the mystery of the Druids. In addition you will learn about the history around them and how they were influenced by these moments. The book is a bit like reading a textbook but easy to understand none the less. It's a bit of a trudge if you arent looking for the finer details of the world around them at the time."
