I was dismayed to find no fewer than 12 errors in this short (2-page) section. It doesn't take long (page 3) to reach an interesting section headed 'Tolkien's Ring'. However, I purchased the book because of my fondness for Tolkien's tales of Middle Earth and not because I'm interested in grail conjectures. This all seems very encouraging and confidence inspiring. The book has an attractive cover, a tempting title and the text is nicely laid out with helpful chapter titles and sub-headings, charts, colour plates, illustrations, notes, references, appendices, bibliography and index. It is imperative that people like Gardner keep feeding us such information so that we can weigh it up against the standard teachings and make up our own minds as to the lives of our ancestors. Many myths are exposed and not everyone will find Gardner's explanation to their liking but as with all historical it should be read, considered and compared against other sources. It is less complex than Gardner's other publications yet probably the most interesting. Many areas are worth reading a few times to fully understand and yet this is a surprisingly easy read bearing in mind the wealth of information layed out. The symbols and rituals of the ancient kings are revealed and it is surprising how many of these symbols survive into modern times.ДЄll in all it is a fascinating and exeptional read that dips into many areas of forgotten knowledge without getting bogged down. The book travels through Tolkein and Wagner's epic ring cycles, King Arthur, Robin Hood, Father Christmas, Lorna Doone, Dracula, Rapunzel and more, exposing the truths behind the stories and delving into the ancient knowledge that lies behind many well-known tales.Д®lves, fairies, leprechauns, witches and wizards are explained as what they once were rather than what the church has told us. Gardner explains the concept of ancient Kingly rule, tracks the progression of certain royal lines and explains how modern day fairy tales often have more to say than is obvious. In previous books he has concentrated more on following the lineage of certain iniviuals and so, in Realm of the Ring Lords, Gardner gives a more general view into the progression of the royal dynasties from their Scythian(?) origins to the present day tales that keep the traitions alive. In this book Gardner tells how the spurious donation of Constantine helped subdue the ancient royal lines and increase papal control. Those in power are always apt to teach history as it suits them rather than how it is. It does not take a genius to work out that all that is taught by the church is not entirely true. Laurence Gardner's 'Realm of the Ring Lords' is a fascinating eye-opener that pulls you into a whole new world of thought. Some books are interesting, some are not.

But are the historical truths that lie behind these enigmatic and sacred symbols connected? This is the first book to present a full exploration of the connection between these two ancient quests.

The identities of the Ring and the Holy Grail have generally been seen as separate mysteries.

Gardner reveals the Ring Lords as the ancestors of both King Arthur and of Euro-Asian culture as a whole, debunking the traditional belief in the sources of Greece and Rome.

Who were the Ring Lords? They were the ancient race (4,000 BC) from whom the Kings of Ireland and the early Kings of Scots emerged.

Realm of the Ring Lords is the first book to relate the lore of Tolkien to historical fact, and to determine who was the original Lord of the Rings.
