Summary: better than i expected...
Comment: ...but still pretty miserable. This book gravely insults Ireland's Celtic heritage. The author and editor present the festivals of Ireland like they are Catholics talking to other Catholics. What about the rest of us may not actually believe that St. Patrick "performed...even a few miracles (pg 17)!" Really, now. Paganism, while mentioned, seems to exist only in the pre-Christian era. Samhain is described as a holiday largely created by Pope Gregory IV. Fundamentalist Christians will probably take umbrage with the fact that pagan festivals are even mentioned. I smell a book burning!
If nothing else, the book provides on pages 6 and 7 a list of holidays that students may then research elsewhere.
The map on page 5 is excellent.
