1 y separately published work icon Celeste Rivere and the Cup of Destiny W.J.P. Holgar , Victoria : Trafford , 2004 Z1441342 2004 single work novel fantasy

'Celeste is an archetypal heroine for modern times: a courageous young girl searching for knowledge in a stymied environment. Interspersed with humorous character portraits and parodies of today's institutions, Celeste Rivere and the Cup of Destiny follows an individual's struggles against overwhelming odds in her search for life's meaning: metaphorically a journey from the sleepy village where she was raised to the lofty mountains she yearns to climb. Fairy tales, myths and legends are blended with themes drawn from philosophers of the twentieth century; a potent amalgam that brings these ideas into a tangible form that is easily accessible to readers of all ages. Mystical or a tantalizing fantasy—you be the judge. What is next for our valiant and intrepid heroine? Watch for the second book in the series'.
