The Druid Tree
by Chris Crowe

---

The Roman era in Britain produced a time of population movement within its borders. One such group traveled from North West of the island to the relative peaceful area around the City of Litchfield in the heart of England. Their deep rooted beliefs were suppressed with the arrival of Christianity and its absolute doctrines. Although forced to conform some inhabitants still remembered and practiced certain ways regarding the old days. Their focus centered on an old tree rumored to have magical powers regarding their lives and predicting future events. This great tree was referred to as the “Druid Tree” and it became a customary visiting place for travelers and locals. As each generation passed beneath its limbs so the stories became legends for the ‘ancients’ to pass down to other generations. Each era within English history has at least one story connecting local inhabitants with the great tree and its ‘stones’. Oh Yes! And then there were the ‘stones’.

Chris Crowe has lived and worked in many countries in his role as an international business consultant with a major British company. Now residing in Victoria, British Columbia with his wife Maureen he utilized beautiful Vancouver Island to produce the inspiration for this novel. As a child he was raised in England in close proximity to the villages and towns called the Mid Mystic. In adulthood he lived and worked in many of the villages and towns. The stories and tales from that area were passed down by generation after generation allowing the author a sound basis of local folklore. This is his chance to tell of their survival through a time of long forgotten beliefs. Currently the author is working on a series of children’s books which he hopes will be ready early next year.
