This is the intriguing account of the life and times of a most unusual group of people. These extraordinary characters were drawn to Glastonbury, also known as the Isle of Avalon, at the turn of the century and become involved in a series of strange events. This story begins with the discovery in St Bride's Well of a blue glass bowl which baffled British Museum experts and led to rumours in the national press that it was the Holy Grail. At the forefront of this controversy were such luminaries as Archdeacon Basil Wilberforce, Poet Fiona Macleod, and the esotericists A.E. Waite, Annie Besant and Wellesley Tudor Pole. This is the in-depth, never-before-told story of the Glastonbury Revival that occurred long before the youth of the 60s and 70s were attracted there. |
