The Glastonbury Tourist : A Spiritual Journey Through the Lands of Avalon

by Jacob Toddson

In the English countryside, there is a town called Glastonbury. Nestled in the rolling hills and green meadows of Somerset, this village boasts one defining landmark that can be seen for the Glastonbury Tor. A relic from a forgotten age, it serves as a beacon for wayward travelers and a symbol of the Isle of Avalon. Glastonbury is home to witches, wizards, druids, and shamans, as well as Buddhist monks, Brahmins, nuns, and lost souls.

This is where Ethan, a Londoner seeking refuge from city life, finds himself for a two-week holiday. What at first seems like a town living in fantasy soon draws him into the daily lives of the fascinating characters who call Glastonbury home—and to others, their prison. A story of friendship, enlightenment, darkness, and community, join Ethan on his journey as he becomes The Glastonbury Tourist.

There is room for style improvements but I liked the book. The characters could have had a bit more of development of their story and inner process. Manly was the story that could have a little bit more explaining of the process and journey that wanted to describe. Like I felt some of it was taken for granted and maybe someone who wasn't used to it would miss that. But maybe is just my impression. I anyway liked the story and the way he choose to tell it. And I enjoyed it which is the most important thing. Well done and kudos for putting it out there!
