Stones of Adoration by Christine Zucchelli

Ireland's landscape is dotted with sacred stones, from Maedbh's Grave in Sligo to the Royal Pillars of Tara in Meath. Since prehistoric times people have acknowledged their special nature. This book explores their secrets and their myths, legends and folktales, which persist to this day. This is a wonderful reminder of our spiritual past.
'Sumptuous, abounding with information' Irish Examiner 'Absorbing book, very well written and researched' Peter Harbison Irish Arts Review 'Insightful text' Archaeology Ireland 'Beautifully illustrated book' The Irish Times
Christine Zuchelli first visited Ireland in the 1980s. Captivated by the wealth of the country's heritage, after graduating from Innsbruck University she studied Irish Folklore at University College Dublin and travelled the country in search of the myths, legends and folklore behind the veneration of particular stones. She worked as a guide and organiser of special-interest tours to Ireland but now concentrates on research into aspects of the sacred landscape. She lives in West Clare and Innsbruck.
