The Legends & Lands of Ireland

From sinister spells to healing wells, this illustrated collection of 43 traditional Irish yarns brings forth the magic of a proud people and their lyrical landscapes. While you may know of the Blarney Stone or St. Patrick, you’ve probably never heard the saga of Lia Lfail, the ancient stone said to confirm a king’s legitimacy by shrieking under the weight of his footsteps, or the legend of Dublin’s haunted Hell Fire Club, where the Devil himself was once believed to have visited. Saturated with the colors of the Emerald Isle, the photos that grace these pages will transport you to a world of heroic deeds, violent deaths, and otherworldly adventures. Includes a foreword by the acclaimed author of Angela’s Ashes, Frank McCourt.
