From the bestselling author of the Celtic sagas The Circle and the Cross and The Song of the Earth comes a beautifully illustrated book of inspiration from the Celtic world. Compiled from notes scratched by Celtic scribes in the margins of illuminated manuscripts u 'the scribe's ink outlasts the martyr's blood' is one u together with quotations from old texts like the Book of Ballymote, traditional poems and oaths (such as the one sworn by King Leoghaire to St Patrick when he gave him the freedom of the land of Ireland), this is a fascinating insight into the Celtic world. There are stories of ancient gods and goddesses, of great heroes u even advice from a high-king of Ireland. Caiseal Mor grew up steeped in Irish culture and history (he spoke only Gaelic until the age of seven), and presents here a feast of traditional sayings, ancient writing, poetry, and snippets of folklore and history. A fascinating book for all who have been touched by the magic of the Celts.
