Celtic Book of Days Summary

Celtic Book of Days by Louis de Paor

The fragments of poetry and prose reproduced in this perpetual diary provide glimpses of some of the greatest moments in literature in the Celtic tradition, from the time when writing was first introduced to the Celtic world, up to the present day.

This highly-illustrated book of days includes excerpts from poems and Irish legends. It also describes some of the rituals and traditions surrounding the ancient Celtic festivals.

Lynne Muir's artwork is founded on the same sense of equilibrium between past and present; it embellishes the text and complements it perfectly.
