The inhabitants of Britain and Ireland originally spoke another tongue. Look closely enough and English contains traces of the Celtic soil from which it sprung, found in words like bog, loch, cairn and crag. Today, this heritage can be found nowhere more powerfully than in modern-day Gaelic. Told through stories collected from the author’s life and travels, this updated edition is an enthralling celebration of Irish words, and a testament to the indelible relationship between landscape, culture and language.
