Marah Ellis Ryan: The Druid Path - eBook

A wonderful eBook about the Druids.

The initial letters used at the beginning of the Tales, and other decorations in this book and cover, are taken from The Book of Kells, acknowledged to be the most beautiful illuminated vellum in the known world. This ancient volume is the work of an unnamed Irish monk of Kells monastery in the seventh century. The weird and commanding beauty of the pages have been at once both the inspiration and despair of artists for centuries, and the wonder of line and color would be unbelievable but for the ancient manuscript treasured at Trinity College, Dublin. The soul of an artist went into the precious volume known even in tenth-century Europe as the "wonder of the Far Western World."
