"Heartfelt thanks for your fascinating book covering Mines, Temples and Parklands in Celtic Europe. The layout flowed beautifully, enabling your readers to clearly see the connection between the ancient existential challenges of mining gold with creating art that reflected the values and philosophies embedded in the Celtic culture. The way you integrated your research with your family's history and legacy was seamless; the flow worked so well. Your photographs blended landscape, architecture, portraits and icons that reflected and illustrated your narrative so well. The book is both scholarly and personal: the sum far exceeds the parts."

"What a joy to read and to own this book. This and your other books enhance our library being the gifts that keep giving. The sum and substance of what I have read has enriched our travels in Europe, opening my eyes to concepts and cultures which went unacknowledged for too long.”
