Inspiring and Utterly Brilliant Storytelling London, England "Eagerly awaited sequel to The Orphans of Carmarthen, Vault of theGriffin re-introduces the reader to fifth-century Britain. A fantastic descent into the bowels of the cavernous empire of the White Griffin, Baker´s latest novel is a devastatingly candid and brilliant commentary on human nature. The pastoral countryside of Wales is painted in broad and exceptional vistas, the author skillfully employing language to exemplify the struggle between great concepts of ideology and theology, most capably illustrated against a backdrop of poverty and classical mythology. Once again, this internationally acclaimed writer validates his eputation as a master of literary exposition."
