We are thrilled to be welcoming John Matthews back to The Atlantis Bookshop for this Afternoon Tea session.

Discovering a hitherto lost or forgotten book about Merlin and King Arthur is a rare event these days. Yet here we present a previously almost unknown and completely untranslated book, which includes much that is new – and exciting – about the legendary king and his magical advisor.  It enables us to hear again the authentic voice of Merlin.

Throughout the Middle Ages a number of volumes were produced, said to be the Prophecies of Merlin. Within several of these volumes were hidden a series of clues that lead to the heart of the Arthurian mysteries – secrets long hidden behind the obscure language of the prophetic utterances. In this ground-breaking book, Arthurian scholar John Matthews and translator and book collector Martin Haverkamp have unravelled these lost stories and laid them out for all to see and understand.
