- Go, Bob, go! This starts to sound like one of those therapy groups where
we all "tell our pain" - but yes, I too had Children of Albion at a time
and place when it counted, and used it as a preliminary map (it explains
so much about us, doesn't it?). To point out its faults - then or now -
would be to waste time which could be better spent following some of the
leads it gave. In my case I had the good fortune to have a good bookshop
(Tom Pickard's Ultima Thule) close to hand where I could "follow through"
- or my map would have been, well, wrong in a very different way.
