This title visits 28 richly atmospheric sites and tells the mythological stories associated with them. Woven into these landscapes are tales of love and betrayal, greed and courage, passion and revenge, featuring the famous characters of Celtic lore, such as Cu Chulainn, the children of Lir and Queen Maeve. The historical and archaeological facts, and the folk traditions of each ancient site are explored. Some are famous such as Tara and Newgrange; others are less well known but equally captivating such as the Beara Peninsula in Cork. In a world where many have lost touch with the land and their past, the legendary Irish landscape still survives and the stories are never quite over as long as there are people to tell them.

About the Author:
Eithne Massey works as a librarian in Dublin. Her interest in mythology has been a lifelong one, and she is often found traveling to old and secret places around the country. Previous publications include short stories and a study of Prior Roger, Outlaw of Kilmainham, who played a key role in the Kilkenny Kyteler witchcraft case. Photographer Jacques Le Geoff was born in Paris but has lived in Ireland for the past twelve years. Special effects photographer Pip Sides lends a ghostly romantic effect to his studies of castles, stone circles, and natural landscapes.
