Finding Albion

di Zakia Sewell (Autore)

Hodder Press, 2026

Zakia Sewell is on a quest for another Britain. Traversing the length and breadth of our island from Somerset to Scotland, she's seeking out a different story - one that lies beyond toxic and empty national symbols. In Finding Albion, Zakia uncovers an alternative Britain that is vividly alive today. It is found in otherworldly folk songs, ancient myths, Celtic seasonal rites and mystic stone circles that punctuate our landscape. Her journey begins as the sun rises on the spring equinox over Glastonbury Tor, where she meets neopagans reclaiming traditions from our pre-Christian past. At summer's peak at Notting Hill Carnival she hears cultural echoes that passed along the slave trade routes from the Caribbean. On All Hallow's Eve she encounters the ghosts of Empire that are still haunting the nation, and in the depths of a Cornish winter she asks if today's new folk revival could even unite our increasingly divided country? Finding Albion brings a hopeful story of Britain out of the shadows, giving us a deeper sense of who we are, and heralding the promise of a brighter future.
