In Search of the New Forest Coven door Philip Heselton
More research into people that Gardner may have known in Highcliffe and who may have helped form what became Wicca. No firm conclusions.
Even more insightful the second time around
I read this book when it first came out. It left wishing I'd had the opportunity to have met Doreen in this life. in some way, upon further reflection I realized I had met at least glimmers of her through the pages of this book. This was even more true after reading it a second time.

Good book on British forests and talking to trees. Very down to earth and specific.
Excellent presentation of known facts of Valiente's life and career as well as informed speculation about unknown factors. Heselton admits to having only laid the groundwork for future scholars, but the groundwork seems firm.
