It is found in otherworldly folk songs, ancient legends, Celtic seasonal rites and mystic stone circles that punctuate our landscape. Her journey begins as the sun rises on the spring equinox over Glastonbury Tor, where she meets neopagans reclaiming traditions from our pre-Christian past. At summer's peak at Notting Hill Carnival she hears cultural echoes that passed along the slave trade routes from the Caribbean. On All Hallow's Eve she encounters the ghosts of Empire that are still haunting the nation, and in the depths of a Cornish winter she asks if today's new folk revival could unite our increasingly divided country?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eFinding Albion\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e brings a hopeful story of Britain out from the shadows, giving us a deeper sense of who we are, and heralding the promise of a brighter future.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zakia Sewell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46999177035954,"sku":"9781399735902","price":690.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9191\/8002\/files\/9781399735902.jpg?v=1771425843","url":"https:\/\/www.wordsworth.co.za\/products\/finding-albion-hardcover","provider":"Wordsworth Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
