In "Gods in Britain" Jill Dudley travels from England to Scotland,
from Cornwall to Wales in search of the pagan past, gathering myths
and legends on the way. As with her earlier travel books on Greece,
she continues to explore how, and even why, early Christianity took
over. Her continued quest for enlightenment contrasts amusingly
with her ever-tolerant husband and travelling companion, Harry,
often the star of the show, who takes the Church's teachings on
trust. The book has twelve chapters and includes such places as
Stonehenge, Bath, Glastonbury, London, York, and Edinburgh. The
book concludes with Canterbury where the author attends the Easter
Resurrection service - among, as she puts it, those who have
attained Olympic standards of Christian belief led by the
Archbishop of Canterbury. But, as she points out, there have been
resurrections of gods since the beginning of time. It is an
entertaining and informative read, and has a useful Glossary at the
end of gods, giants and heroes.
