A great read to see what Gardner did in the early years. I enjoyed learning about his young life in Sri Lanka, Borneo, and then Malaysia more that I thought I would. It's really amazing how much time he spent there, virtually from childhood. It all contributed to the knowledgeable person who arrived in Britain in the 1930s. The hard work and persistence he endured to get witchcraft where it is in the Western world certainly shows here. We really must thank him for all that work. Say what you will about Wicca, it may not be as ancient as some say, but it does work, and that's how traditions begin.
