Blood and Mistletoe: The History of the Druids in Britain by Ronald Hutton

4.0

An excellent in-depth look at the history of Britains relationship with the druids. Hutton is, as usual, thorough and clearly well researched. As a layperson, I find his treatment of the subject accessible without feeling like it had to sacrifice it's academic credentials in the process. Some of his prose is still a bit heavy reading - I have had to look up more than a few words! - but that may reflect the quality of my vocabulary as much as it does the complexity of his writing.

All in all, not a light read, but an excellent one for anyone interested in British cultural history.
