Glastonbury - Avalon of the Heart

Dion Fortune

Fortune's description of Glastonbury remains one of the most evocative accounts of this wild yet holy place; a power centre polarising with distant Jerusalem, linking and harmonising the Christian way with the pagan past of England. She describes three ways of approaching Glastonbury: by way of legends (including the Grail, King Arthur and Joseph of Arimathea), through the known history of the area or the mystical way. This is Fortune's personal account of her love of the area that repeatedly drew her back through the years.
