A Little Book of Celtic WisdomThe Celts' strong sense of the natural world, and of their place in it, is vividly conveyed in Celtic writings, particularly in the series of magnificent "Books" produced monastically in the twelfth century. These are characterised by a brilliance of imagery and by a fresh and direct response to experience which remains as appealing today as ever. This little anthology touches on matters as diverse as love, the seasons, religion and magic, and aims to present the reader with at least an introduction to the Celtic temperament.
