A guide to the ancient sites and monuments of Britain, with associated legends and theories of origins. Sites include Glastonbury, and the Arthurian and grail legends.

Exploring a world of magical phenomena, this book delves into enchanting encounters with tiny people in Wales, a mysterious tiny shoe in Ireland, fairy dust on California's Mount Shasta, and the captivating vision of a winged woman within a rose. Each element invites readers into a realm where the extraordinary intertwines with the everyday, igniting curiosity about the hidden wonders of our world.

Even in the late 20th-century Britain retains a wealth of places associated with folklore and legends of the past, from villages covered by the sea to standing stones and fields which still echo with the sounds of battle. This atlas, from the authors of "Mysterious Britain", has 16 large full-colour regional maps pinpointing over six hundred sites, with a text which recounts the relevant facts and stories and describes the local customs and festivals.
