[Tim Pendry · Rating 3 out of 5]

Part of a wholly unacademic pop cultural series on the 'Unxplained' (sic), 'Visionaries and Mystics' is better than expected, well written, without hysteria and quite sincere in its attempt to inform rather than excite. It should be read as an entertainment.

This volume covers theories of the soul, various forms of prophecy including Nostradamus and Fatima, 'mystical places', astrology and the cycle of the mystic year and the folklore surrounding it and interpretations of classic myths and their links with the seasons and creation.

It reads like the work of a very intelligent autodidact and Jamies Stokes turns out to be a highly competent jobbing writer who, it seems from his web presence, can turn his hand to almost any subject.
