Moyra Caldecott was born in Pretoria, South Africa in 1927, and moved to London in 1951 where she married Oliver Caldecott and raised three children. She earned degrees in English and Philosophy and an M.A. in English Literature. Moyra died in 2015, a few days before her 88th birthday. Moyra Caldecott earned a reputation as a novelist who wrote as vividly about the adventures and experiences to be encountered in the inner realms of the human consciousness as she did about those in the outer physical world. To Moyra, reality is multi-dimensional.
Also in the spiritual adventure realm, Mythical Journeys, Legendary Quests: The Spiritual Search: Traditional Stories from World Mythology, by Moyra Caldecott, retells 16 myths from many ancient cultures ranging from Sumeria through Greece, Egypt, India, Scandinavia, Russia and Ireland. While the myths themselves are related in appropriately unsophisticated language, Caldecott's analyses of their themes, historical backgrounds and universal principles are incisive and informative. Unfortunately, Cheryl Yambrach Rose's garishly colored illustrations depict visionary experiences in almost hallucinatory terms.
