In this large-format illustrated map and guide, author Gary Lachman documents key locations in the homeland to which Aleister Crowley always returned, from his birth in Royal Leamington Spa in 1875 to his death in Hastings in 1947.
The 40-plus entries include Carlisle, where a teenage Crowley slept with a hotel chambermaid and threw his tutor out of a boat; Boleskine, his house on Loch Ness, later owned by Jimmy Page; and numerous London addresses, including residences, pubs, occult shops and even the Caf Royal, where he pretended to be invisible and ran out on the bill.
Aleister Crowley: The Beast In Britain offers insight into the life of an intriguing, complex and profoundly flawed character, whose influence reverberates long after his death.
