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.

AS TRANSCENDENT AND MIRACULOUS AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, THE FINAL BOOK IN THE LANDMARK TRILOGYIn his final book, Manchán Magan implores us – even dares us – to move from the limited rational world to a more expansive spiritual one. To become re-enchanted once again. To understand that there are more ways of seeing, more ways of knowing and to uncover the interconnectedness between all things.
Manchán explores how ancient Irish culture retains deep resonances with other indigenous worldviews – a way of perceiving land, language, nature and spirit as inseparable. Drawing on mythology, early law, folklore and placenames, Manchán traces how Ireland’s forests, sacred trees and landscapes shaped the Irish psyche with such a resilience that many beliefs and customs endure to this day. In Seeing What’s Hidden, Manchán implores us to look again so that we too might rediscover our cultural inheritance and chart our course forward from here.
