Moonpool - Hardcover

by Kingsley Taylor (Author)

After the last Ice Age Mesolithic Hunter Gatherers settled by a lake in a valley in what is now West wales. They discovered the Nature Spirit of the valley and over the years she watched over them and saw them develop. She watched their descendants through the Neolithic times as they built what is now termed a henge and slowly became a farming community. She watched them as they entered the Bronze Age and had to defend their land and spread out into the wider world. She watched as the Celts came with the Iron Age and became one people. Over time she made many friends and because they were mortal and she was not she mourned their passing. At times she came to close to people, perhaps she interfered a little too much. In human form she had feelings to contend with which she never truly came to terms with, almost becoming human herself because of misplaced love. Yet in the end she found contentment and as humanity began to drift away from belief in Nature Spirits she was prepared to fade away. This is a story of the development of humans through the different ages of pre-history, a story of a Nature Spirit caught between two worlds and how she found herself, a story of love and loss and conflict and peace. A story of magic that reminds us of what we need today, we need her kind.
