The latest book by Niall Mac Coitir draws together the stories and customs and folklore that have gathered around Ireland's birds, both wild and domestic. Written with imagination and enthusiasm, this mix of natural history, mythology and folklore will entertain and enlighten all interested in the birds of Ireland.

Compilation of folklore, legends, and history describes animals' relations with people, being hunted for food, fur, sport, or as vermin, and their position today. An imaginative final section looks at twelve animals and how we can visualise ourselves as having their special qualities and enrich our lives and deal with situations differently.

Ireland's wild plants have been part of our culture and folklore from the earliest times, featuring in Brehon Laws, early Irish poetry and herbal medicine. Different aspects of plant folklore are examined: their roles in magical protection, in charms and spells, as emblems in children's games, in Irish place names and folklore cures.

Niall Mac Coitir brings to life the myths, legends and folklore associated with native Irish trees, much of which persists to this day.
