King Arthur's Avalon: The Story of Glastonbury - Softcover

'It attacks all the problems which have gathered around Arthur and the Grail legend, and makes what is perhaps the first coherent and cogent narrative out of the whole tangle.' * Observer * 'Geoffrey Ashe is a shaker of establishment archaeology and ancient history and as such does scholars a good service.' -- Glyn Daniel 'Crisp, imaginative and contemporary ... a book that will madden the academic historian and delight the common reader.' * Sunday Times *

2007 was the 50th anniversary of the publication of King Arthur's Avalon, which sold 100,000 copies, and is credited widely with a major share in the growth of Glastonbury's fame and the international renewal of Arthurian interests. This edition gives the original text, unchanged and unabridged, with a new Preface by the author putting it in a present-day perspective. He reviews developments in the past half-century and his own contributions to them.
