Reprint of the 1957 book by Geoffrey Ashe that delves into the history, legends, and myths surrounding the town of Glastonbury, England. Focused on the idea that Glastonbury was the mythical island of Avalon, which was associated with King Arthur and his knights. Ashe draws upon a wide range of sources, including historical records, archaeological evidence, and folklore, to build his case that Glastonbury was indeed Avalon.
He explores the town's rich history, from its origins as a pre-Christian sacred site to its role in the spread of Christianity in Britain. He also examines the legends surrounding King Arthur, his knights, and their connection to Glastonbury. The book presents a detailed and well-researched account of Glastonbury's history and mythology, and Ashe's writing style is engaging and accessible. The reader is taken on a journey through time, from ancient times to the present day, as the author weaves together the various strands of Glastonbury's story.
"King Arthur's Avalon: The Story of Glastonbury" is a fascinating exploration of one of England's most intriguing and mysterious towns, and its connection to the legend of King Arthur. It is a must-read for anyone interested in Arthurian mythology, British history, or the occult.
