Picked this up expecting to find a scholarly review of the grail tradition, but it turned out instead to be some bizarre new age thingy, which combined reasonably coherent accounts of the myths with exceedingly peculiar (to me) instructions on using the myths for meditation or spiritual growth.

Still, it did give me a good idea about who and what were the fisher king and waste land, which is what I wanted to find out. Wish he'd listed the sources for each myth so I could have looked them up.
