Synopsis

The first biography of Sir George Trevelyan, renowned grandfather of the movement for spiritual regeneration in Britain. During his lifetime, George Trevelyan explored beliefs in angels, the calming effects of crystals and the power of ley lines, as well as organic farming and communal living. In 1971 he set up the Wrekin Trust to promote spiritual education, and was awarded the Right Livelihood Award (the “alternative Nobel Prize”) in 1982 for his contribution towards healing the planet. His teaching, which encouraged the emerging synthesis between science and spirituality, has inspired communities, universities and spiritual groups worldwide. He died in 1996 at the age of ninety.

Review:

'Wonderfully evocative ... Frances Farrer makes George come alive in these pages with the quality of her writing and felicity of expression, which means that the book can be enjoyed for its own sake even by those less interested in its main subject matter. An absorbing and entertaining account of a remarkable life.' -- David Lorimer, Scientific and Medical Network Review 'Takes the reader step by step through the life of this giant among men ... through its pages the reader learns more about Sir George's deep wisdom, humour, spiritual power and kindness. By the end of the book, one cannot fail to be touched and inspired.' -- Elizabeth Medler, New Vision 'A thorough and lovingly written biography.' -- Cerridwen Connelly, Pentacle, May 2003 'This book records, with adequate fullness, some of the mercurial personality that was Sir George Trevelyan. I commend it to you all.' -- Geoffrey Beard, Attingham Society Newsletter, June 2003
