This visionary author's magnum opus, first published in 1932, explores the influence of legends associating the small west-country town with the Holy Grail. His wholehearted engagement with mysticism and high romance has earned Powys passionate admirers, as diverse as Henry Miller, Margaret Drabble and George Steiner; the latter compares his achievement with the fictions of Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky.
