5.0 out of 5 stars Get in touch with your Celtic roots...this is the book!, July 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Celtic Quest In Art And Literature (Hardcover)
Jane Lahr divides this book into three treatments of the subject: Song, Sword and Star. The naturalist in you will appreciate the Celts' deep reverence for nature in SONG. "The rebirths of the land as well as the heart are celebrated..." SWORD "...reflects the passage of into mid-summer... [the] journey towards maturity." In STAR the author shares pieces from Druidic philosophy and wisdom and the "beliefs in reincarnation, shape-shifting and shamanic practices."

This is a delightful book for both children and adults (older children) to learn more about our Celtic heritage. This book puts at your fingertips such authors and poets as William Butler Yeats, James Joyce, William Blake, Sir Walter Scott, Dylan Thomas, Margaret Tait, Robert Burns, Ella Young, and dozens more.

I liked this book because it sparks the imagination and touches the heart. Even if you have no Celtic blood in you, but a literary mind, you will find this book a treasure. I liked it so much I bought a copy for both my adult children for their birthdays this month.
