READ THIS: Celtic Light Wisdom and Lore by Claudine Gandolfi

We continue along our St. Patrick's Day theme with the Peter Pauper Press! Whom You Know recently read Celtic Light Wisdom and Lore, and here is what our panel thought:

This book Celtic Light: Wisdom & Lore is a small pocket sized book of wisdom, hope, glory and faith. The stories that are written inside are old spiritual Celtic stories. It gives you insight into the spiritual side of the Celtic civilization that has shaped and has had profound impact on modern day today. The pictures that are illustrated inside the book are absolutely beautiful. We see the vast beauty that Ireland has to offer and are simply taken back. If you're looking for history, wisdom, inspiration along with beautiful illustrated pictures this book would be it!

Upon opening, I was very happy to see this book was a compilation of Celtic lore and wisdom. I enjoy stories that tell history, and this certainly did. One thing I found helpful while reading were the footnotes to accompany certain phrases. The photographs placed periodically throughout the book of various landmarks were absolutly stunning. The size of this book makes it convienient to place in a purse or briefcase for easy travel. This book would make an excellent gift.

Celtic Light:Wisdom and Lore, a Peter Pauper Press pocket size collection of quotes and retelling of stories and legends known throughout the Celtic history. Included are numerous wonderful full color illustrations that depict the Celtic beliefs. Sixty-four intriguing pages of fascinating reading that will amuse and inform you of the ancient lives of the Celts. This little book is an easy read and a new understanding of the Celtics that I was totally unaware. This hardcover pocket size gift edition would be a welcome treasure for anyone.

The pocket-sized gift edition, Celtic Light: Wisdom and Lore, is a beautiful collection of quotes, stories and illustrations. This tiny little book can provide a pocket full of joy for anyone interested in Celtic legends. The introduction itself answers so many questions about who the Celts are and where they were from. It speaks of Celtic beliefs and traditions that laid the groundwork for Celtic lore. The body of the book includes five stories, each prefaced with background information and followed by Celtic poems and historical quotes. It's hard to believe a tiny little book has so much to offer.

In case you were wondering what to get your Irish friends or coworkers, or wanted to brush up on your knowledge of Irish culture this year for St. Patrick’s Day, the mini book of Celtic Light: Wisdom and Lore would make for a great selection. It’s a pocket sized collection of quotes and recollections of stories that have had an affect on our history. It includes a table of contents, so you can skip to a story of your choosing. There’s also an introduction to Celtic legends which goes on to describe the importance of them and how they were passed on. It’s a neat and inexpensive find. Besides giving it as a gift, it serves as a great educational guide about a unique and lively culture.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
