- '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.

for King Arthur and his "Loyal Arthurian Warband". A long time
protester and activist for free and open access to Stonehenge
- 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.
