Im Banne der Zauberin Morgan (Haunted by the Sorceress Morgan)

We have had another fascinating book donation, this time from German author Barbara Ortwein. Her book Im Banne der Zauberin Morgan (Haunted by the Sorceress Morgan) was inspired by a visit to magical sites in Somerset and Cornwall, including the Museum. Barbara describes it as a fantasy and travel novel, and it re-examines the legends surrounding Morgan Le Fay by exploring the places associated with her. It includes maps to inspire readers to visit the sites for themselves. It’s good to see Morgan given the importance she deserves as one of the South West’s great magical figures, rather than being overshadowed by her brother Arthur!
