Chartist surgeon heretic Archdruid and pioneer in the legalisation of cremation in the British Isles Dr William Price was undoubtedly one of the most flamboyant romantic and eccentric characters in Welsh history. Famed healer crusader of reform exiled political activist and a sparkling dynamic eloquent man who blazed progress and controversy by outraging a conventional society there was much more to Price than his radical attitudes to cremation. Poverty-stricken in his youth and with an insane priest for a father Price remarkably still became a surgeon by the age of just twenty-one. He created an embryonic national health service masterminded the first Museum of Welsh Life launched Britain's first co-operative society had visions of a new massed druidic rising and was exiled to France as a Chartist leader. Calling his first son Jesus Christ Price claiming he was a druidic Messiah he cremated the child after its death aged just five months. The landmark court case led to the passing of the Cremation Act in 1902. He fathered illegitimate children with a housekeeper sixty years his junior and died sipping a glass of champagne at the age of ninety-three. This is the first fully researched biography of Dr Price capturing not only his life's history but also the thoughts and ideals of the man himself. It includes a vast collection of pictures private letters and family papers never used in any previous publications.
