Trade Review

'This book contains a series of essays and lectures written by one whose spiritual development was personally overseen by the great anthroposophist Rudolf Steiner … I really enjoyed it, and learned a lot!'
-- Inner Light Magazine, Summer 2008

'Stein explores the early development of the mythic corpus of Grail legends … Highly recommended.'
-- BM Cauldron, May 2008

'Walter Johnnes Stein was a polymath who was one of the leading followers of Steiner. It was a lecture by Stein in the 1930s that kindled the spiritual insight of the then agnostic Sir George Trevelyan … One of the most interesting parts is the first chapter of the memoirs in which the author describes his own background, education and encounter with Steiner … This is the work of an erudite man steeped in western culture but whose spiritual sight has also been opened. It is a remarkable series of essays.'
