Non-fiction - 4 stars
In August, 1984, a body was discovered in a peat bog in Lindow Moss, near Manchester, England. After further study, it was determined that the 2000-year old remains, known as "Lindow Man", belonged to a 30-year-old druid priest, sacrificed to the gods in 60 A.D. following a series of disasters. Ross, a Celtic specialist and archaeologist, and Robins, a chemist specializing in archaeology, reconstructed the events around the sacrifice, even going so far as to determine his last meal. This book is for anyone interested in Druid beliefs and practices, history, and archaeology.
