description: "You will not cut or groom your hair. You will not talk to another human being. You will not bathe. At the end of your time I ll give you a title and a generous allowance for the rest of your life." With these words, William Danby, master of the Swinton Estate, Yorkshire, offers a sensitive romantic an opportunity to live for seven years in a large, enclosed outdoor sanctuary. Adam Wedgwood finds within it a stone replica of a Druid temple, and within himself an opportunity to experience his ancient ancestors. Unable to function within a natural environment without food or clothing, he soon finds himself starving and delerious. At the point of death, he finds himself in the company of a humorous and wise wildman. This apparition clothes and feeds him, teaches him how to survive in the way of ancient man. He also initiates him with amusing sacrificial rites into an experience of oneness with his forebears from the dawn of time. Dr. Dawn Prince-Hughes, an anthropologist, writes fiction that draws from actual events in England s Romantic period. Ray Bradbury, noted SciFi author, has a well-worn preliminary copy of this book in his possession.
