Irish Trees by Niall Maccoitir
In ancient Ireland mythology and folklore were part of the general knowledge about each tree. This book gathers the myths, legends and folklore associated with the native Irish trees. The folklore has two main themes: the tree as a marker of important places such as a royal site or holy well, and the role of different trees as sources of magical power in folk customs and superstitions.

Niall MacCoitir grew up in a bilingual environment and developed a great interest in Irish and Celtic history and folklore. His interest in tree folklore and the ogham alphabet led him to realize how little had been published on these related subjects.
