The Dream Weavers by Barbara Erskine (books you have to read txt) 📕

crowdfunding would possibly secure my imaginary chronicle for the cathedral library). Also thanks to Sheila Childs for her invaluable knowledge of the inner workings of the cathedral and its inhabitants and to the various guides and helpers who are absolutely nothing like Sandra. So many people helped generously with advice and suggestions and no one seemed fazed at the thought of ghostly goings on. Mark Townsend, sometime vicar in Herefordshire and now priest at large, who combines his Christianity with magic and mystery, gave me some very useful ideas and advice as did the enthusiastic guide (sadly I never found out your name) in Lichfield Cathedral who showed me their angel and the St Chad gospels.

I would also like to mention the many healers and spiritual teachers who have shared with me their learning and experience of other worlds, in friendship and courses and books, over many years. The knowledge I have gained from them has emerged in most of my novels. I feel I should at this point say, ‘please don’t try this at home unless you know what you are doing’. My particular thanks go to Sue Percival whose friendship and wisdom I have valued for almost 40 years. She helped me so generously during her last illness with information for this book. Sadly she was no longer with us by the time I had finished it, but we hoped that one day, somewhere, she would find a way to read it.

A final word of thanks goes as always to Kim Young, to Sophie Burks and my wonderful team at HarperCollins, plus my editors Susan Opie and Anne O’Brien and my brilliant agent Isobel Dixon with Sian Ellis-Martin, and to my son Jonathan for his constant support.

The writing of this book coincided with the first Covid Lockdown in 2020. That put the kibosh on one or two of my carefully planned research trips – hopefully you didn’t notice. And who knows if GCSEs and A levels will still exist by the time the book is published, but, if not, I am sure everyone will always remember them and the stress they caused.
