Why read it?

1 author picked Finding Albion as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I listen to Zakia's BBC radio show Dream Time every Sunday night on 6 Music. I knew she loves folklore as much as I do, so when I heard she'd written a book, I had to read it. Even though it's a very personal book, I felt her quest mirrored some of the things I've been grappling with over the past few years, such as the legacy of Empire and the relationship between Christian and Pagan. It's great to have a book showing folklore as something that can unite us rather than divide us.
