O’Brien draws on archaeology, history, poetry, folklore and legend to create vivid portraits of twenty-five sacred places within Offaly.He recounts the tales that surround the county’s first saints and the monasteries they founded. “ Caimin O'Brien presents a vivid picture of the life and times in the early monastic settlements, highlighting their role in society and their changes in fortune though political upheavals. This attractive book breaks new ground in presenting a visual feast with excellent photography and design work by James Fraher and Connie Scanlon. The engaging combination of storytelling, folklore, historical and archaeological facts will appeal to a wide audience whilst providing a valuable contribution to our understanding of how these early monastic sites functioned within society.”—Pat Wallace, Director, National Museum of Ireland |
