The book of Tara

The book of Tara
By:Michael Slavin
Published on 1996 by Interlink Pub Group Inc

Part guide, part history, part legend, this lavishly illustrated book reveals the mythical power of Tara, the heartland of Ireland's ancient past. Sacred in Irish mythology, the site of St. Patrick's confrontation with the druids and the seat of the High Kings, Tara has long been central to Irish life. In The Book of Tara, this enchanted Hill and its domain are made accessible to the general reader for the first time. Exploring an eclectic range of sources, Michael Slavin combines anthropology, archaeology and ancient, medieval, and modern history with legend, myth and folklore. He draws from scholarship across the centuries -- right up to the very latest archaeological discoveries of the 1990s. Wonderful color photographs capture the pagan atmosphere of Tara. Celtic monuments, Viking artifacts, Norman castles and contemporary clanspeople are portrayed in splendid black and white pictures. The last chapter features a walkabout guide, so visitors to Tara can follow the author's favorite route.
