A collection of the poems, proverbs, and aphorisms of the Celtic people that have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.

The Book of Celtic Wisdom shares the proverbs and blessings that bring the wisdom of the ancient Celts to life. Their thoughts on charity (“Stretch out your hand in giving, and you will never stretch it out in need”), aging (“The older the fiddle, the sweeter the tune”), and work (“The lazy young man and the poor old man; two sides of the same coin”) are as relevant today as they were thousands of years ago. A thoughtful and reflective compilation, this book is bound to inspire, enlighten, and entertain readers every-where.
