<p>Older than the Egyptian pyramids, older than Stonehenge, for 5,000 years the ancient megalithic tomb at Newgrange in County Meath has housed the remains of Stone Age aristocracy , sheltering the spirits of the long dead from the outside world. This book explores the creation, building and discovery of Newgrange. Why did these people spend years building this tomb? How did they move huge boulders miles across hilly country and erect them at the site, without the aid of machinery? Modern archaeological techniques have revealed much about the lives of our Stone Age ancestors, but Newgrange still retains many of its secrets. Exploring Newgrange uncovers, in words and illustrations, the extent, and limitations, of our knowledge of this world-famous site</p>

The world of the Celts was rich with mythology, magic, and tales of the supernatural. They believed strongly in the power of the word, and their stories were passed on in Irish from one generation to the next, keeping old and young alike spellbound. These eight stories reflect the magic and enchantment of legends and myths that date back centuries, featuring magicians, warriors, kings, queens, princes, and princesses.
