Read by Ben Tucker

(3.8 stars; 4 reviews)

Celebrated poet and author William Butler Yeats has graced us, in The Secret Rose, with a hauntingly beautiful collection of mystical stories with the flavor of the Irish legends and folk tales while touching themes of loss and religious devotion. Also included is the chapbook Rosa Alchemica, a dark magic exploration of the alchemical Rosicrucian rituals with an elaborate and entrancing prose style only Yeats could conjure.
