Eco-campaigning druid king Arthur Pendragon has waged a highly public, completely eccentric 14-year battle to assert the right of everyone to worship at Stonehenge. He has taken the Home Office to the High Court & HM Government to the European Court
- & recently won. This summer solstice they are allowing general access to the public for the first time for years. Through the story of Arthur, this book explores the state of Britain, politically & spiritually; what Britain means at the start of a new millenium. Arthur is a key to exploring the nature of Britain on many levels; mythical, political, historical, magical, moral & physical. The book contrasts the landscape of old Britain, with its sacred groves & ancient monuments, which Arthur invokes & uses as his backdrop, & the new landscape of drive-in Mc Donalds, car-parks & shopping centres that have become the moral backdrop of the British psyche in the 21st century. This title covers the exploits & anecdotes of Arthur's past 14 years & at the same time serves as an inspiring mission statement
- an "anyone can do it" manifesto
- that whoever you are, whatever you do, you can create your own persona, live your own life, any way you choose to. It presents a slice of British history, popular culture & the eco-warrior movement
- seen through the eyes of someone frequently on the wrong side of bureaucracy & the law
- & a State-of-Britain exploration from this alternative viewpoint.
