So of course I wondered about the person who'd been carrying the Faddan More psalter.

Now the possible connection is that Irish monks, who were noted around the world as scholars and scribes, stored and carried their books in leather satchels. It just so happened that on a research trip way back in 1999, I'd been at the National Museum of Ireland's Collins Barracks conservation lab when work began on a leather satchel that had just turned up - in the very same bog. The book was open, and in reading few legible lines, archaeologists knew that it was a psalter. My inspiration for The Book of Killowen came from a real artifact known as the Faddan More psalter, a ninth-century book of psalms discovered in an Irish bog in July 2006.
