The Centaur

Algernon Blackwood was an occult researcher, a practising magician and a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He used this extensive esoteric knowledge to produce novels and short stories that do far more than merely entertain, but are replete with hidden themes and allegories concerning the nature of the supra-mundane world and the array of psychological and spiritual states that humanity may attain. 'The Centaur' is one of Blackwood's most profound works, at once a celebration, and a warning, of the power of nature and her spiritual minions. A compelling book, whose author was praised by H.P. Lovecraft for penning "some of the finest spectral literature of this or any age."
