A History of Ireland in 100 Stamps
€25.95
Description

The story of Ireland through one hundred postage stamps issued since the creation of the Irish Free StateA stamp is about so much more than postage. It is a little piece of art, history and imagination. Dr Max Barrett, a judge of the High Court of Ireland and a passionate stamp collector, explores the history of our nation through one hundred carefully chosen stamps.

Starting with James Ingram’s map of Ireland (1922), which pointedly omitted the northern border, the book moves through the decades with stamps honouring heroes and rebels, cultural icons and Irish institutions, visitors to our shores and milestone events. This beautifully illustrated collection shows the evolution of Ireland from an inward-looking young state to the vibrant, multicultural nation of today.

Irish Herbal Apothecary
€24.95
Description

For generations, the people of Ireland relied on the healing properties of the hedgerow, woodland and field. Knowledge of native herbs was passed from family to family: a practical tradition rooted in folklore and a deep connection to the land. Today, much of that wisdom has been lost. This beautifully illustrated guide brings it back to life. Focusing on Ireland’s most common native herbs, it reveals their traditional uses, the stories and folklore that surround them, and simple, accessible ways to use them in everyday life.

From nourishing recipes and herbal teas to syrups, tinctures, balms and poultices, each chapter offers practical techniques that anyone can master at home. Grounded in the belief that the best remedies are often those that grow where we live, this book invites readers to rediscover the healing potential of the Irish landscape. This is an invitation to reconnect with nature, rediscover forgotten knowledge, and build confidence in caring for ourselves through the plants that have sustained generations before us.
