You obviously do not know the theory behind really overpriced books. If you buy one, there is no way for you to say anything bad about it. You cannot admit to throwing away that much money for overpriced, really bad toilet paper.

Review
Merlyn’s Legacy: An Appreciation by Geoff Anderson, author of The Legend of Aranrhod and the book and lyrics for three Musicals: Rock on Simon Peter; The Damascus Road Show; That Saul, Folks! As a living he has built furniture, been a parish priest, and written.To be outrageous, he has lived in a commune, cycled over the Massif Central and never done drugs.
For the love of it, he has managed The St Petersburg Blagovest Ensemble since 2002. Olga Koslova, their conductor, has invited Geoff to combine his book tours with their UK concert tours.
"The first book ‘Wizard’s Woe’ introduces the rules and traditions that govern life in fairy land that have seeped into local human consciousness as legends and 'fairy stories' told to children. But one such storyteller discovers that the world of the little people is as real as his own human world, and that it is possible to cross between the two."
"But there's a catch. At some point he has to choose. Our hero's dilemma is that he can't communicate with the woman he loves to find out if she is going to make the same choice."
"The whole trilogy raises deeply spiritual and ecological questions."
"Spiritually, the world of the fairies and gnomes can be interpreted in this book as a kind of heaven, an Arcadian Paradise. This paradise is not a vaguely drawn heaven where anything goes because the inhabitants are immortal - which they are - but rather one that is governed by strict rules, the breaking of which can result in a 'second death'. So the story prompts readers to consider death and the possibility of an afterlife, without having to steep themselves in any of the world's ancient religions."
"One of the problems we have in envisaging what heaven might be like is to imagine what the inhabitants do with all the time on their hands. Revelation's suggestion that we might be kneeling before God's throne singing hymns of praise for ever doesn't appeal to many people, nor does the popular myth of being a harp-playing angel. The authors of Wizard's Woe have an intriguing answer to this quandary which, again, may not appeal to all readers, though it is gets full marks for sheer audacity!"
"Ecologically, the reader is prompted to consider the risk we take when we destroy our natural environment for commercial gain, since we may unwittingly be destroying the habitats of creatures we know nothing about - indeed, it is certain that we are doing exactly that when we destroy the rainforests, for example, which harbour countless undiscovered species, and disrupt the harmony of the planet. Wizard's Woe is a parable of this risk and therefore speaks to a current burning issue."

LAB: Hang on a moment, ah there just had to get out of my skin (Shedding it itches so much), sorry we are not lizards and in fact most British are a mixture of people's, since the time of the Bronze age and indeed long before we were a part of the ancient trade networks and long before Rome we were a major destination for Greek, Middle Eastern, Egyptian, North and West African and of course European traders whom came for our TIN.
But of course OUR traders went there as well.
Lab: There is evidence of ancient civilization all around the UK not only in Wales.
So we were not separate from the classical world but were part of it, we did not stand as a unique race because we Mixed with just about every other people we came into contact with even long before the invasions of the Roman's, Saxon's and Norse.
Lab: It's OK for you to be ignorant and hate every English person around BUT you are the one with the problem not me though to be fair I regard myself as BRITISH and am a typical mixture of Celt, Nordic, Saxon and with some Maori and Jewish thrown in, there might even be some Indian and Chinese there via the same line as the Maori but of that I am not certain.

No I pointed out that I am a HUMAN being just like you, we both have flaws and I was being sarcastic, all people are people and in every nation there are good and bad. The same with the Period of British Empire there were good and bad point's about it.
LABTECH: India, most Indian states (it was many country's mostly ruled by Islamic rulers) were actually welcoming of the British when they came, they were in fact Invited in by these places in most cases or when they came the Hindu majority welcomed them since they were badly treated by the Muslim minority and the British East India company led Indian army (made up of Indian AND mercenary soldiers) were far more just, fair and allowed them to be free - at first at least.
LABTECH: The STAIN on British rule of India was in the final day's when the Indian's were demanding independence and someone ordered the actually peaceful but noisy crowd be dispersed with gun's, this led to a massacre which then sealed the end of the British rule of India.What followed was Partition a period in which more Indian's of all religions died than in the entire period of British rule as the Hindu's were not ever going to allow the Muslim's to rule them again, today in India there is growing almost fascist Hindu extremism.
LABTECH: There were many bad thing's that occurred under British rule and also many GOOD thing's so it is unfair to tar and feather the entire period of British rule, Now Belgian rule that is another matter entirely. Over all the British were more fair and even had a belief in what was once called the White Man's burden the belief that they were to Civilize, Educate and Convert to Christianity the world sharing the benefit's of there benign leadership, building city's and town's and raising the level of the colonial people's knowledge, health and spiritual well being.
LABTECH: So it's OK to hate someone blindly as you were doing BUT it is also wrong.Not everything the British did was evil, much of it was very good indeed and had it not been for British rule India would still be under Islamic oppression, Africa was not trashed by the British the Portuguese and Spanish did that during there expansion, slave taking and looting of the formerly civilized African city states and kingdom's, when Britain moved in most of these places were lawless or else under less benign rule by other European powers.
LABTECH: All empires fall to dust, ever hear of Ozymandias probably an allegorical tale based on Seti the Great but also prophetic for all work's of man as the Bible says' are in vain, all is dust.
en.wikipedia.org... There is one thing I have to say though, there are always' those that seek power, those that seek power are usually very bad people and such people always end up in positions of power in and around empires be they the old kind or the modern corporate kind.
