Book on story of Clonmacnoise to be launched

A new book on Clonmacnoise is to be launched on Tuesday next, March 26.

The Story of Clonmacnoise and St Ciaran is a beautiful new book by Brian O’Carroll and Bill Felton, which is hitting the shelves this weekend. Beautifully written and wonderfully illustrated, it recounts the history, stories and legends of one of Ireland’s greatest treasures during a golden age of over 1,500 years.

Here you will find out all about  St Ciaran and the Monks, the Scriptoria, the Annals of Clonmacnoise, the Lost City, the  Vikings and the legacy of the Irish Monasteries throughout Europe. There are unique photographs and graphics throughout the book which are worth the price alone!

The Story of Clonmacnoise is an ideal companion to both visitors to Clonmacnoise and those who are interested in the Irish Monastic life.  Available at the Shop at Clonmacnoise and all good book shops, it retails at €9.95.
The launch of the book will take place at The Shop at Clonmacnoise on Tuesday, March 26, at 4pm.
