The True Story of the Holy Grail?
The Waste Land chronicles the adventures of Hugh de Verdon, monk turned knight, during the extraordinary historical events of the First Crusade. He journeys from the great Benedictine monastery of Cluny to Constantinople, Antioch and Jerusalem. He encounters the Assassins, endures a personal epiphany and discovers the "truth" behind the Holy Grail.
Hugh de Verdon's tale is retold by a group of desperate Oxford professors, based on his autobiographical manuscript, discovered in their college library. Their humorous - and murderous - story provides a commentary on the eleventh century events and shows that they are perhaps not all they seem.
Simon Acland was a venture capitalist for 25 years and when his company was sold in 2007 took the opportunity to do something completely different.
