Throughout the Celtic world, in Britain, Ireland and France, thelegacy of the Celtic saints remains visible. It is not easy tocome close to the Celtic saints as many of their biographies werewritten centuries after their deaths, but the sites where theylived and worked can still be seen in the more remote parts inBritain, often set in beautiful landscapes. Using evidence fromthese sites, archaeology, place names and inscribed stones, aswell as the literary evidence, Elizabeth Rees presents theirfascinating stories. St Patrick and St Brigit in Ireland, StDavid in Wales, St Columba in Scotland and St Aidan inNorthumbria are among the men and women whose lives andinspiration are the subject of Celtic Saints in their Landscape.Elizabeth Rees, a Roman Catholic nun, gained a master's degreefrom Oxford University before starting a career as a pastoralworker and writer and lecturer in early Christian history andspirituality.
