Synopses & Reviews
King Ludd is a considerable imaginative feat, a kaleidoscope of a novel presenting a vast panorama of British history, legend, myth and memory. In the late 1030s George Griffin, who believes himself to be Gog and thus desended from the legendary giants of Albion days, is a graduate student at Cambridge. To complete the research for his doctorate on the history of the Luddites, he sets out to walk across the ancient pilgrim lines of Britain to rediscover his past.
