On Celtic Tides is a memoir of two journeys: one of the sea with its moments of tranquility and contrasting terror; the other an inner exploration, a spiritual awakening born of the haunting beauty and rich history that Duff discovers among the stone ruins of island monasteries and coastal cottages Sixteen pages of black-and-white illustrations on coated paper. Forest-green cloth binding with white titles to spine. Very clean and unmarked with very slight bumping to lower front cover, spine head compressed a bit. Endpapers with a map of the journey around Ireland. Internals as new.
