A Hundred Steps to the Grail: A Writer’s Diary

While Caitlín Matthews was writing The Lost Book of the Grail, a study of the 13th century Old French poem, The Elucidation, she also kept a daily diary of her progress.  Within these daily explorations of what it is to be a writer researching the Grail legends, Caitlín uncovers the art of writing, the fascinating depths of myth and the mystical imagination, and the very essence of the Grail quest. Myth, Arthurian legend, history, cooking, meditation and writing interweave to frame a window on a writer’s world, giving a view of rare intimacy. Many of these daily entries were first shared with Facebook friends and now the full diary, completely reedited and revised, is available for all to read.
