Chronicles of the Celts
Chronicles of the Celts presents the epic stories of a fascinating people. Here are legends of invincible hero-warriors, faerie enchantresses and magical forests that evoke the fire, pride and passion associated with the Celts.

The Gods of the Celts

The Gods of the Celts is an invaluable sourcebook on the Celts and their religion, covering all aspects of the gods, ritual customs,cult-objects and sacred places of the ancient Celtic peoples. The first chapter introduces the Celts, describes the geographical and chronological scope of the book and examines the nature of the evidence.

Irish Country Life

The beauty of the mountains and the shores in this land of gentle mists, the excitement of a hurling match and a day at the races, the peace of an evening of storytelling around a peat fire, the bar and the betting shop, priests and colleens, travellers and barefooted children. This superb collection of over 100 photographs presents these well-loved images of Ireland in times gone by.

"The Famine Ships - the Irish Exodus to America 1846-51"

A really good book, written in a fresh and accessible way, which will grip anyone with the most superficial interest in the Famine years. I found this of great value when writing my Sligo and Grosse-Île pages about the Irish famine on the Moytura site. The author, Mr Laxton, very kindly allowed me to use some of his pictures for those pages.

The following books are just a few of those available from Celtic Links. You can find links to their full collection below.
