Many years ago I lived just down the road from Glastonbury and spent many an evening walking over wearyall hill or up the tor. They are cherished memories, and more recently I've felt a yearning to return, so purchased this book for the pleasure of armchair travelling.
It's a lovely book that covers all the main myths and legends - I learned some things I didn't know before and feel that even if you have never visited the Isle of Avalon - you would perhaps gain a sense of the mysterious quality of the countryside. I think this would be a good book to read before a visit - a sort of alternative guide book.

Excellent historical and mythological reference!
29 Sep 2003
Format:Paperback
Nicholas Mann captures the spirit of Avalon through the combined lenses of history, archeology, mythology and comparative spirituality rarely found in comparable texts. A must-own for anyone interested in Glastonbury, the Arthurian Mythos, spiritual history in sacred Britain, sacred geomety and geomancy. Mann brings a critical yet intuitively insightful perspective to all of the above. Well worth reading more than once!!

A Worthwhile Read

Format:Paperback
Anyone interested in the background behind the mysts of Avalon will enjoy this book. I found it well-researched, fairly easy to read, and quite informative. A great collection to my library.

Virtual Glastonbury!

Format:Paperback
I've just come back from Glastonbury, and having read this book first helped a great deal. I'm reading it again, and am feeling so enlightened. If you love Avalon, you must have this book.
