- catalog abstract ""Throughout the Celtic world, in Britain, Ireland and France, the legacy of the Celtic saints remains visible." "Using archaeological evidence and literary sources, Elizabeth Rees presents the stories of some of the best known of the Celtic saints, as well as those of lesser-known monks and nuns, missionaries and martyrs. The author traces the journeys of these early British Christians, exploring the sites where they chose to live, pray and preach - dramatic headlands, sheltered valleys, forest clearings, healing springs and peaceful lakeshores. Much of this landscape still remains, especially in the remoter parts of Britain and Ireland. In exploring these sites, the Celtic saints of legend are brought vividly to life and their continuing legacy is revealed."--Jacket.".
