About
"Niall Mac Coitir brings to life the myths, legends and folklore associated with native Irish trees, much of which persists to this day. Two main themes emerge: the tree as a market of important places such as royal sites or holy wells, and the role of trees as sources of magical power in folk customs and traditions, such as carrying a blackthorn staff when out walking at night to ward off evil spirits. Beautifully illustrated and imaginatively written, this mix of natural history, mythology and folklore will entertain and enlighten all interested in Ireland's trees." Ireland was once so heavily wooded it was said a squirrel could travel from Cork to Killarney without touching the ground. Many myths and legends and much folklore associated with native Irish trees persist to this day and they are gathered together in this book.
