A Celtic Book of Days Book

Did you know...that St. Patrick cursed the rush which pricked him when he sat down, and now every green blade has a brown tip? That the Druids considered mistletoe to be a cure for barrenness? That there is one hour in every day when any wish you make will be granted, but nobody knows when it is? Filled with intriguing Celtic facts, illustrations, sayings, and quotations, this illuminating little book contains an entry for each day of the year. The writings of Celts as diverse as William Butler Yeats, William McGonagall, Tobias Smollett, and James Joyce are featured, as well as a wealth of ancient Celtic sources, manuscripts, and journals. Sarah Costley and Charles Kightly have drawn on their combined knowledge of Celtic lore and literature to produce the ideal gift for the Celts of today and anyone interested in the Celtic world.
