melwyk's review against another edition
4.0
This is a collection of spiritual essays by P.L. Travers, an author I only knew previously as the writer of Mary Poppins. This book was mentioned in passing in another book I was reading recently about labyrinths, as there is a wonderful essay included here on Travers' experience walking the labyrinth at Chartres, years before it became regularly accessible.
I thought this was a fabulous read. The back of the book describes it as "a honeycomb of essays pointing to the truth-of-things handed down in the great popular stories of cultures around the world". And that is what it felt like, a honeycomb of brief essays covering a range of esoteric, myth-based and biographical themes.

Some wheat, some chaff. A few of the essays were lovely and well written (What Aileth Thee?, What the Bee Knows, The Death of AE, and Short Stories). The rest? Is dry and boring.
