Avalon
exists. It
is a real place with geographical boundaries and a turbulent history.
It
is the treasure house of Arthurian legend. It is the secret location in
which the identity of an entire nation has lain buried. Until now...
Intertwining
the
mystery and romance of ancient myth with the excitement of modern
historical
discovery, The Keys to Avalon:
- exposes
the rewriting
of history and the political intrigue which robbed a people of their
heritage
and cultural identity
- is
the first book
to establish a viable setting for the Arthurian legacy
- challenges
the accepted
theories about early British history and Arthur, providing a solution
to
the mystery of Avalon
- substantiates
its
claims with detailed references to original Welsh textual sources, maps
and genealogical charts
- goes
beyond well-known
Arthurian texts to their roots in ancient Welsh manuscripts and the
history
of the land
