- 'It's the best bit of modern British social history I've seen', John Hodge,
SchNEWS
'This is a fine book in every way, well written, carefully researched and
with a remarkable story to tell',
John Michell, Fortean Times
'Likely to remain the definitive work on the subject, simply because of the
depth of coverage and range of viewpoints that it incorporates',
Professor Ronald Hutton
This innovative social history looks in detail at how the summer solstice
celebrations have brought together different aspects of British
counter-culture to make the monument a 'living temple' and an icon of
alternative Britain. In its pages you'll find the often hidden histories of
the early gatherings of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Druids,
the free festivals, the travellers' scene, the Battle of the Beanfield, the
exclusion zone, the struggle for the renewal of access in 2000, and the
latest source of conflict, centred on a bitterly-contested road improvement
scheme. Along the way, you'll also discover stories of allied places and
events - among them the Windsor Free Festival, Greenham Common, Molesworth,
Castlemorton, Twyford Down, Newbury and Avebury - and meet a host of
colourful characters, including Gerald Gardner, Ross Nichols, John Michell,
Wally Hope, Sid Rawle and Arthur Pendragon.

- The Trials of Arthur - www.warband.org/The%20Trials.htm
Mad, bad and shamelessly bold, self-styled king Arthur Pendragon, Druid and Eco-Warrior, fought a fourteen-year battle for the public's right to attend Solstice celebrations at Stonehenge, and won. He has taken the Home Office to the High Court and Her Majesty's Government to the European Court, has stood his ground on numerous battlefields, from the wooded enclaves of the Newbury By-Pass construction site, to the studios of Clive Anderson's Talk Back. Through the wonderfully entertaining story of Arthur, his origins and his exploits, this book explores the state of Britain today, contrasting the old landscape of sacred groves and ancient monuments that Arthur inhabits, with the new landscape of drive-in McDonalds, car parks and shopping centers that have become the moral backdrop of the modern British psyche.
Come with us on a quest for adventure, through fields and forests and sacred places, in the company of bikers and pagans and eco-warriors, in search of the enduring, real Britain behind the dreary spin of modern consumer
capitalism.
Arthur is also running for parliament at the next general election as an independant candidate for Winchester.
