What did the Druids believe?
What were their Rituals?
What type of people did the represnt?

I am learning from this to seperate legend from fact, though its a bit over my head , definaltly not an easy or light read and I try to read a chapter, take some notes, re read the chapter and then summarise. If possible move on to the next chapter. This book is helping me sweep away falsehood about who and what the Druids are or were. I like the book this far and my brain seems to engage when the author keeps to the historic or mythic data for the Celts and the Druids and really intrigued by the Hindu similarity, I find this to be facinating and can not wait to get to the next chapter. Slowly I read and re read as to not miss anything. I look forward to his book of the Celtic Empire.

Sean MacDhai (seanm4c) yes, the one by PB Ellis is great! Also, try "The Druids" by Miranda Greene (my fav) and "The Druids" by Jean Markale for different perspectives. =]
