Henry Lincoln showed the first glimpse of the extraordinary phenomenon hidden behind the Mystery of Rennes-le-Chateau - the tiny village perched on a mountain top in the foothills of the Pyrenees - and the sudden and unexplained wealth of its flamboyant priest, Berenger Sauniere. Key to the Sacred Pattern takes us further into the hidden byways marked out by our ancestors and sets it upon provable and demonstrable foundations. The boundaries of the original riddle of Rennes-le-Chateau are extended, from the Pyrenees, to Britanny, and the Baltic Sea. Our ancestors were not, as we thought, primitive and unenlightened but far more gifted than we have ever imagined. Here is the lifting of the veil on a mysterious and dramatic legacy.

They are fictional accounts most probably based loosely upon second hand accounts from real life with a good splodge of romantic imagination. Rather cute, syrupy & cliched. For admirers of the genre, an attractive and charming series of representations.  A pretty little title in good, clean condition (especially for a children's book).

Majdalany, Fred. STATE OF EMERGENCY. The Full Story of the Mau Mau. London: longmans, 1962. First Edition. "The Mau Mau murdered and maimed more of their own people than anyone else. The witch craft ceremony used to induct them into their muder gangs, included bestiality, rape and order to kill members of their own family who were considered not friendly to the cause! Hardly an heroic group of freedom fighters. The white settler is a subject of much hatred, in todays Kenya - like much of Africa, which has descended into corruption, megalomaniac power elites and tribal conflict - the whites provide a convenient distraction as to the real crux of their problems." 239pp., b+w photos.
