A real-life adventure packed with historical facts about the legendary Celtic saint. This book is one man's epic quest to spread the Word of God in a strange land - and hoping the natives like what they hear.

Celtic women, both 'ordinary' and 'extraordinary' have often been overlooked inrecorded history, while their male counterparts hogged the limelight. Too often written by the victors, and written by men, for men, the incredible stories of Scottish, Irish and Welsh women have been all-too-often banished to the footnotes of our nations'interwoven histories. This collection brings together the stories of those women already well-known, whoseplace in history is significant and remembered - or often misremembered - and thosewomen whose mark is found in the shadows, women whose stories are now uncoveredand celebrated in a new light.

Part of the Scotties series, the book tells the well-loved story of Greyfriars Bobby and gives its historical background.
