About the author

I am fortunate to live in Brittany, north-west France. Here in the department of Finistere (not to be confused with the former shipping forecast Finisterre in Spain), lies the wild landscape of the Monts d’Arrée, the highest hills of the region. This is a constant source of inspiration.

I’m primarily a writer, but also teacher, guide and consultant with many projects concerning the exceptionally interesting history and landscape of Brittany. I work with official organisations, associations, groups and individuals to promote all aspects of Brittany to an English-speaking public.

I also lead regular walks, visits and tours, give talks and broadcast an occasional radio series on Breton history for Spotlight Brittany.

I loved this book! It made me want to visit Bretagne even more than I already do! Magic!!

A very interesting book and good for opening minds to new ideas (tarot, in this case). Although predictable in places, there are enough twists to keep you amused. The ending is slightly disappointing, but life doesn't work that way...
