In ancient Ireland, mythology and folklore were part of the general knowledge about each tree. This book gathers together 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 royal site or holy well, and the role of different trees as source of magical power in folk customs and superstitions.
The book has beautiful watercolors illustrating the different kinds of trees. Also the book features an Ogham tree calendar based on the early Irish alphabet.
