Journey through Celtic, Roman, Arthurian, Anglo-Saxon, Norman and Tudor times.

Like Ken Follett? You'll love Glastonbury!

"An almost perfect blend of history, mythology, and excellent storytelling."

"I am looking forward to going back to the beginning of the book and rereading the entire thing again."

"If I ever need to 'lose' myself to this world in a book, I break out Glastonbury...the solid, believable characters, the times they lived in, the troubles, heartache and triumphs they experience along the way......just....read it."

"An epic book that overcomes the reader with tears of joy and of despair."

"What a work! Every reader can be enveloped in the sheer scope and quality, every historian be constantly nodding at the precise detail and accuracy, and every Christian can rejoice in the fullness of scripture. For me it is simply beyond descriptive praise. I would urge all who value truth to treat themselves to a feast."
