Celtic Fairies, Fables, and Folklore!

Christy Nicholas loves all things historical, especially if it has anything to do with Ireland, Scotland, England, or Iceland, and she writes historical fantasy, travel guides, and a book on writing craft. Her tales tend to the gritty, with bittersweet endings, and she's never afraid to torture her characters. But there is beauty in all darkness, and she loves showing that, as well.

- If you are in the mood for something more scifi, check out her C. N. Jackson book, Time Tourist Outfitters, Ltd.

- If you are looking for some urban fantasy, magical adventure in modern ireland, see her Rowan Dillon series, Guardians of the PHAE.

- If you prefer some timeslip romance in Iceland, or a women's fiction based on her parents' true story, go look at her Emeline Rhys books, Past Storm and Fire or Better To Have Loved.

Iceland: Fjords, Fire, and Folklore: A Guide to Hidden Iceland (The Hidden Gems Series), , my sixth read from author Christy Nicholas. Perhaps not for everyone but I found it to be a well-written, enjoyable, 271-page read on the wonders of Iceland. Part of Nicholas' The Hidden Gems Series. “I received a Kindle copy of this book earlier this month and after reading want to read the rest of the series as well. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Christy’s travel guides are far more than a travel guide. They are a deep dive into a culture, and provide a much more thorough feeling of being present (not just visiting). She stars by explaining history, culture and arts – then does an exhaustive review of where to go and why
Even when I’ve visited locations she describes, I find myself learning so much more, and wanting to go back to explore everything I missed.

One of the best tourism books I've read in a while. This gives you history, folklore and mythology, culture, and more. You get recommendations on how to plan, pack, travel, eat, and be entertained. I learned so much about Iceland that I did not know before. The book itself is also easy and entertaining to read. It really makes me want to plan a trip! I'm so happy that I received an advanced review copy of this book.

It is entertaining and a different view then just going through a tour book or one of the brochures. I like it that the author was giving us a different perspective and also hit different subjects about Iceland that a brochure or catalog, etc. does not cover.
