History, myth and legend collide in this full-colour illustrated storybook of the animated feature Brendan and the Secret of Kells. Twelve-year-old Brendan's life in the monastery at Kells is not very exciting until Aidan arrives. Suddenly life is one big adventure. In the forest Brendan is rescued from wolves by Aisling, a mysterious green-eyed girl. In the cave of the Dark One, he risks his life to steal the eye of the serpent god, Crom Cruach. Meanwhile Aidan is keeping a secret that will become Brendan's biggest challenge, and the Vikings get nearer and nearer ...This exciting story is brought to life through stunning visuals and includes a section of facts about the real Book of Kells.

My child loves it
For those who love the movie, this will bring the story home! I’ve included a photo to disambiguate it from the other two movie-to-books from the Irish Folklore trilogy. Wolf Walkers and Song of the Sea have been made into graphic novels, so I mistakenly assumed this would be one too! My 6-year-old loves it anyway (skews toward older kids generally, I’d say). Obviously, it can’t compete with how visually striking the movie is, but it’s lovingly made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2019

This is really an amazing little movie. The animation is incredible, with spectacular images.
It borrows a lot from the real history of the Book of Kells, so it has an historical basis.
Incredible.
Our kids LOVED it.

The shipping is very fast. However, the book is kind of disappointed because the pictures in the movie look way much better. It is indeed a book for kids but not for adult although I love the movie very much.

This book arrived much sooner than expected, which was great. It was brand new and didn't suffer any shipping damage. Gorgeously illustrated with stills from the movie, and very well written, we love it. It's paperback, with a glossy cover, and rather tall, I love it.

My 4 year old son saw the animated film, loved it, and wanted to learn more about the real Book of Kells. We bought this book and he really cherishes it. Great illustrations from the film with additional background on the characters and the history. A great story.

My 5-year old granddaughter went crazy over this book. She has the video and loves The Secret of Kells. She is advanced for her age, so don't know if all 5-year olds would like this book. I'm thinking of getting for my 7-year old granddaughter.

1.0 out of 5 stars Der Zauber des Films wirkt nicht als Buch ...
Reviewed in Germany on May 13, 2017

Dieses Buch bestellte ich, nachdem ich den Film angeschaut habe. Ich dachte, ich könnte so die wunderschönen Bilder, die der Film zeigt, in Ruhr bewundern. Leider ist das nur ein einfaches Bilderbuch auf dünnem Papier - ich habe es enttäuscht zurück geschickt. Immerhin war dies problemlos möglich.
