What is so special about spring water? How are wells holy? Why are
so many known for 'the healing of eyes'? The ancient holy wells of
the British Isles are amongst the most beautiful and magical places
anyone can visit. Often untouched by all but the most delicate
hands, and located in some of the most secret nooks and crannies of
the country, their stories evoke a lost world of pagan gods,
healing forces, second sight and holy visions. This beautiful book,
beautifully illustrated throughout by the author, tells the story
of the holy waters of the British Isles through hand-picked
examples. A useful gazetteer at the back of the book catalogues
further rewarding sites to visit. WOODEN BOOKS are small but packed
with information. "Fascinating" FINANCIAL TIMES. "Beautiful" LONDON
REVIEW OF BOOKS. "Rich and Artful" THE LANCET. "Genuinely
mind-expanding" FORTEAN TIMES. "Excellent" NEW SCIENTIST.
"Stunning" NEW YORK TIMES. Small books, big ideas.
