Ireland: Snapshots in Time - E-book - ePub

What is it about the Irish that makes them so memorable? Love them or not, they stick in your mind as larger than life characters. How have they retained their unique character and culture? The vibrancy is compelling and draws you in. Is it the language, the magic of superstition, the charm or is it the echoes of many invaders - Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Spanish and English? Is it Christianity disguising faintly veiled Celtic beliefs, or the very land itself, isolated and rocky, yet green and fertile, that nourishes an abundance of storytellers, musicians, poets and artists? Come, explore Ireland with me, where ordinary people have lived extraordinary lives.
