John McManners' illustrations are impressive, but the text doesn't do anything for me. The text leans towards factual and historical instead of featuring actual stories. The author gives reference to stories, but doesn't actually tell any.
It's odd because as I was reading the book, the places the author mentioned seemed familiar to me. Perhaps people read Cuthbert and The Animals and get the itch to travel to that Celtic part of the world to check out the flora and fauna. Other than that, it's a pleasant, but not terribly fascinating short read.
