Description - The Way of the Quest by Dr George Blair-West

Most people increasingly appreciate that true happiness can only be found through finding what is meaningful for each of us, and the purpose it then informs in life. Equally, most people struggle with the "how to" of this quest. In the genre and style of Paulo Coelho's novel The Alchemist, psychiatrist, George Blair-West has crafted a multi-award winning story that takes the reader on the journey of how to actually negotiate the most challenging of life's quests.

Set in the closing of the era of the Knights Templar, The Way of The Quest follows the 16-year-old reluctant hero of this adventure story, as he runs in anger from his privileged life at Queen Elizabeth's court. Francis Bacon escapes to the magical Mont St Michel off the coast of France where he is taken under the wing of Catherine, The Mont's physician, who introduces him to a secret society. Francis is adopted by the great minds who have gathered on the island - imprisoned by a naïve King who had no idea he was facilitating the very thing he feared the most - a concentration of wisdom, pushing the edges of knowledge and spiritual awareness.
