This island occupies a special place on the map of Europe: Green Erin, as Ireland is commonly called, has long embodied everything that is considered at least to a small extent Celtic. Henry Wollam Morton, a famous journalist who became famous for reporting on the excavations of Tutankhamun's tomb, was fascinated not so much by the Celtic tradition as by Ireland itself: by his own admission, he fell in love with Green Erin as soon as he set foot on the Irish coast. This love permeates his book, filling every moment of his journey across the country, from south to north, from Cork to Belfast.
