The Angel of the West Window

"A complex and ambitious novel which centres on the life of the Elizabethan magus John Dee, in England, Poland and Prague, as it intertwines past and present, dreams and visions, myth and reality in a world of the occult, culminating in the transmutation of physical reality into a higher spiritual existence." "John Dee, through his 20th century descendent, is led by the Green Angel to the "Other Side of The Mirror."" --Book Jacket.

First sentence: A strange feeling: this packet I am holding in my hand was all neatly tied up and sealed by a dead man!
