Evans to Betsy

  The spectacular property called Portmerion, which was the inspiration for the Sacred Grove in this book, has been many things during its existence, ranging from private home to set for the BBC’s cult classic The Prisoner to fabulous hotel. It has never been, and probably never will be, a New Age center or Druid temple.

The book The Way of the Druid only exists in my imagination. The information it contains was gleaned from various books and Web sites on Druidism, to which Rhiannon’s own brand of creativity has been added. It is therefore not to be considered accurate.
