'Elegant and attractive book' Books Ireland


Author Information

CHRISTINE ZUCHELLI first visited Ireland in the 1980s. Captivated by its heritage, after graduating from Innsbruck University she studied Irish Folklore at University College Dublin and travelled the country in search of the legends and folklore of stones and trees. Her first book was Stones of Adoration - Sacred Stones & Mystic Megaliths of Ireland (2007). She continues her research into aspects of sacred landscapes, and lives in West Clare and Innsbruck.
