description: The Druids have been perceived, and misunderstood, in many different ways â€“ from the barbaric priests making human sacrifices the Romans described, to ancient exponents of 'New Age' philosophy. Peter Beresford Ellis sifts through archaeological, etymological and Greek and Roman written evidence to provide a fully researched account of the Druids, revealing them as the intellectual caste â€“ the doctors, lawyers, ambassadors and advisors â€“ of ancient Celtic society
