The Book of Celtic Wisdom by Michael Scott

'Speak slowly, think swiftly, act wisely' 'There is no secret that is known by three' No single book can encompass the wisdom of the Celts. This was a race which loved language, which held the Bard and the Poet to be the equals of Kings. This was also a race without a written language, where the teachings were committed to memory and passed down in an oral tradition which is very much alive today. The Book of Celtic Wisdom is a collection of that oral tradition. Here are the folktales and legends, poems and proverbs, triads and blessings of the Celtic people, some of which are almost a thousand years old yet are as relevant today as they were at the turn of the First Millennium.
Michael Scott is an authority on the folklore of the Celts and has written over eighty books. Michael Scott lives in County Dublin.
