The ancient Celts left a rich legacy of artifacts, illuminated manuscripts, standing stones, and burial sites. This illustrated collection, a window into a long-ago world of dramatic myths, art, and mystical symbolism, traces the course of life from birth through death and into the afterlife. Certain to appeal to owners of the popular Celtic Symbols stamp kit, The Celtic Book of Living and Dying contains more than 40 Celtic-style full-colour artworks and over 40 landscape photos. This is not a reproduction of primary source material but an interpretation by an acknowledged authority.

Juliette Wood has taught and lectured widely on Celtic tradition and folklore. The author of The Little Book of Celtic Wisdom, she lives in the UK.
