Isle of the Saints: Monastic Settlement and Christian Community in Early Ireland
There is a large tendency for books of this sort to be dry and uninteresting. This book is not anything of the sort. The author does a great job engaging the reader in the world of Irish monasticism. There are many wonderful things to be learned about early Irish Christianity and this is a great book for anyone interested in the history of Ireland, especially since it is well-sourced and a conglomeration of a HUGE amount of scholarship on the subject. My favorite part of this book is how the author writes of things such as miracles and angels in such a way that it conveys the realism of these things for Irish saints that is lost in our modern world.
