Description
A series of essays tracing the ideas and history that lie behind the great Zodiac of Glastonbury. The Enchantments of Britain is the result of decades of work on the ancient writings of the world’s religions, comparisons of the various versions of the Arthurian legends, and examination of the work of other historians, which brought together form the strands of a complex and fascinating story, the story of King Arthur’s Round Table of the Stars.
