Publisher's Synopsis

"I hardly can bring myself to part with this story, it has brought such private joy to me.

"But I wish to make it clear that I came on the Vision with eyes open -- and that it left me staring, and as wide-awake as Macbeth -- for here, in this green corner of rural England on a workaday afternoon, in full sunlight, I saw a company of ancient god-like beings sitting, naked and unabashed -- and piping -- to my astonishment! -- while twelve British navvies danced to their music! . . . I saw it; and a derisive whistle from the engine told me that driver and stoker saw it, too. I was not dreaming, then!"

So begins a journey from everyday life of modern England -- to the realm of mystery and beauty . . . from the author of The Splendid Spur and Naughts and Crosses.
