WHO REALLY IS IRINAKUDRENOK-ABLAKOVA-MAPPIN?... AND WHAT IS THE GREATERCANVASS OF CAMELOT CASTLE? Indeed, what is an artist really? This is a question that hasbeen asked down through the centuries. Students haveasked this of their teachers. Teachers have asked it of theirstudents. Audiences have asked it of each other, and per-haps most importantly artists have asked it of themselves.

So what is an artist?

The best definition that we are aware ofis “An artist is that person who delivers or cre-ates a higher quality of communication.”

There has been, for many centuries, anongoing race across civilizations that has nowbeen won. This was the race of “Quantity ofCommunication”. And, as the digital age has flow-ered, many among us who are part of that digitalage can acknowledge that the race for quantity ofcommunication is now well and truly played out,

some would say, to excess, bymankind. We now have access toall the volume of communicationthat we could possibly need.

Fortunes have beenmade and speed records brokenin that game but the game ofcommunication quantity hasobservably peaked.

“An artist is thatperson thatdelivers orcreates a higherquality ofcommunication.”

Irina Kudrenok-Ablakova-Mappin

Camelot CastleNewswww.camelotcastle.com

The next needed race or game or evolutionary step upwards formankind that has presented itself is the game of “Quality ofCommunication”.

What is the price or value of a kind communica-tion with a friend? Or the value of a unique encounter withone that one loves? And how can we actively increase thesequalities in Life?

These questions are indeed, the new frontier for anadventurer or for the true explorer of Life.

But this is not a new game, it is a game that hasbeen maintained and catalyzed by a few iconic beings overmany thousands of years.

At Camelot Castle and across itsassociated group of companies one seestoday dedication to activities that rapidlyenhance the quality of communication andIrina Kudrenok-Ablakova-Mappin is todayat the forefront of this new surge towardsQuality of Communication. Her insightsinto art and the importance of artists followin that tradition.

In a rare interview granted to thisnewspaper Irina Kudrenok-Ablakova-Mappin gives us insight into her expansivestrategy for Camelot.

“Our early family ancestors wereamong the educators that imparted and endued the spirit ofcreativity into the Ruling Houses of Russia. My ancestor HisNoble Excellency Ablak was educated in Cairo in the wis-doms of Eastern aesthetic science and brought that wisdomback to Russia. He was the teacher and venerated wise advi-sor to the Tsarina Sujumbike (1516-1564) and the Court ofIvan IV Vasilyevich, the first Ruler to be crowned as “Tsar ofall Russia” and better known in history as Ivan the Terrible.Into that court His Noble Excellency Ablak endued the piv-otal ideas of beauty that would come to shape the style of anation. The construction of the city St Petersburg and much

of the beauty of Moscow and Russia is today a testimony tothat work and the powerful philosophy that we as a familyhave maintained and continue to forward.”

“Our forefathers upheld the importance of beauty, aesthet-ics and its relationship to life, and our family have fosteredinto being a higher quality of communication for centuries.My grandfather, Commissar Ablakov, who was one of thefew members of the Russian intelligentsia to speak and writefluent Arabic, helped the governing bodies of his area shapethe country now known as Kazakhstan and other parts ofthe broader Soviet Union. (In his time part of the area nowknown as Kazakhstan was known as the “Virgin Lands”and was part of the Soviet Union). Even at the height ofcommunist rule and while my grandfather was a SeniorSoviet Official he maintained his international connections

and contacts all over the worldand right across Soviet Russia.He was known and loved forthe quality of his letters andoverall quality of his commu-nication. ”

“Camelot Castle isunique for several reasons butin my opinion one of its mostvaluable qualities is the magi-cal and priceless effect that ithas on the creative mind andon the creative minds of thepeople who come here andexperience it.”

Irina first discovered Ted Stourton as an Artist at thebeginning of this millennium in the spring of the year 2001.“From the moment I saw Ted Stourton’s paintings I recog-nized his raw talent. I noticed Ted’s staggering potential inhis first exhibition.”

“In fact, we acquired, for our family collection, thefirst ever painting of Ted’s that sold at exhibition.”

“We now manage the Ted Stourton creative portfolio.”

“There is light, there is truth and then there are bringers oflight and truth through Art”

“Ted Stourton brings light and truth through his Art”

Irina Kudrenok-Ablakova-Mappin has indeed beenthe mind behind much of Ted Stourton’s success in theInternational art world. She is a creative muse for Ted andfor several other powerfulinternational artists andwhile she remains almostcompletely in the backgroundand has little interest in per-sonal publicity, her formida-ble mind is primary in theexceptional expansion that isoccurring from CamelotCastle.

Her view of how shesees Ted Stourton’s ascen-dancy in the art world is bothbeautifully dynamic andpowerful.

“Ted Stourton’s work represents the pinnacle of intel-ligence and beauty in the fine art world today. His originalworks are simply priceless.”

“As standalone pieces they are enough to warrantadmiration in any home or museum but as a collec-tion and as a body of work they are absolutely unri-valed.”

“In my opinion, this is the most important collec-tion and portfolio of Art today either in the West orin the East.”

“Ted’s message and the simple power of what hehas done and will continue to do are unique and canbe summed up in four words....”

“The Value of Friendship”

“It has been my personal privilege to oversee and wit-ness the years of production from Ted’s studios at CamelotCastle and I know what his work as an artist has achieved.”

“I have seen original paintings by Ted Stouton sell tocollectors from all over the world.”

“Additionally I have seen many collectors of hiswork have both a creative experience and a person-al and deeply spiritual connection, directly as aresult of collecting his work.”

“I know that when someone connects with Ted asan artist, sometimes at the deepest possible levelthey have experienced this lifetime, somethingextremely magical and quite priceless can occur thatoften changes their life for the better and helps themand others tremendously.”

“We have received thousands of letters from hisfriends all over the world that document this.”

“What particularly excites me personally is howmany other artists have now also been inspired by what isoccurring here and what is most exciting is that this ripple

effect is strengthening each and every day.”

“So why do we help artists at Camelot Castle?”

“We have seen for ourselves what the work of justone artist can do. We understand the power of a person whohas a Sphere of Influence working in the field of Aesthetics.As a result of our Artists in Residence Program and our Iconsof the Future Program which help the finest talent connectwith the finest teachers we have seen new artists get up andrunning with viable long term careers. And we have ana-lyzed in detail the effect of the creation of aesthetics on theentire culture and civilization.”

“It simply works to help and encourage beauty tocome into being.”

“This is a factor that is worth understanding and itis worth understanding it well.”

Irina Kudrenok-Ablakova-Mappin concluded herprivate interview with this observation:

“We help artists at Camelot Castle because artistshave, as their canvass, all of the future of creation andfuture history and often have a will with which to changethe destiny of our culture for the better. We support the cre-ation of true beauty in all its forms.”

“By visiting us at Camelot Castle, you, by simplybeing here, are helping artists, and so it gives us our great-est pleasure to welcome you here. By being here you areeffectively being an artist too and helping with that greatcanvass of the future....the divine creation itself.”

Take some time to nurture your creativity and thatof others while you are at Camelot Castle.... you may bequite glad that you did.

OUR STORY, my dear readers, sees us backin time, a time perhaps many would care toforget and a few adventurous souls mightcare to remember.

On a bleak snowy day in 1788, Paris,France outside the Bastille to be precise, aday when the sky was so grey and theground so white, that any meeting placebetween the two is only afforded by amoment of clear weather which comes withthe turning of the wind. The chill in the airmatches the lonely bare ground and that atbest offers up silence with angular shapes tocomfort the constant pain of hunger thathangs like the foretold death of a child. Notfar off the North West turret, a single pair ofravens circle in the air, a silhouette againstthe melting snow which covers this unyield-ing and blighted landscape.

Our two characters have been impris-oned for five years inside the Parisian hellthey called the Bastille. This site had previ-ously been a swamp. In the dank bowels ofthis once princely fortress had been held thetreasures of the mighty Kings of Francealong with Nobles, of whom it is said, thatif at the late hour of alcoholic murmur hadmerely a thought of Royal discontent, wouldawaken to their horror, imprisoned, on theother side of this unforgiving Rubicon.

This paradox of regal delight and adilemma posing as an equally delicious

source of scandal and rumor mongering,was in its part, the very oil needed for thesmoother running of the otherwise deadlydull and unproductive life at court.

However, over the last few years theBastille had fallen into dilapidation and dis-repute which had matched the royal pittanceof a grant long since diverted by the gaolerbefore its arrival at the squalid gates. So,somewhere between the snow falling, thegaoler sleeping and France on the brink ofstarvation, we find our characters entombedin the granite mausoleum they called theBastille.

Now, it so happened, that it was the cus-tom that each day at noon that some pris-oners were allowed from their cells to walka certain large passage that stretched fromone long side to the other. Off this corridorthere was a sequence of cells holding pris-oners who had committed high treason andhad been in solitary confinement for so longthat no one had ever had site of them. It hadbeen a punishable offence to try and speakwith them but over the years the guards hadbecome more and more discontented andlazy to the point where every day for nearlyeighteen months the young poet had beenable to sit down outside the cast iron doorfor the hour to converse with the painter.

Each day the poet would sit and listen tothe painter, encouraging him to give tell of

the view from his window, for none of theother cells in that cell block had an outsidefacing window. The only site afforded tothem was of the courtyard in the centre ofthe Prison below. The painter woulddescribe the weather each day, with sun onthe moat below framing the ducks and thegeese, children playing with their dogs orsinging an array of songs. The painter wentto great lengths to describe the colours of theladies and gentlemen’s dress, the walkingsticks and, once a month, the passing circusthat crossed the river Seine for the centre ofParis. The circus animals were often newand exotic. Market days were particularlyinteresting to the poet, for twice a week, allthe farmers with their cattle, crops, geeseand sheep would be described in minutedetail, with the abstract air of the paintersprose.

Over the months their friendship andbond had grown to the point where thepainter felt comfortable in enquiring of thepoet the true reason for his incarceration.That day, much like any other, the painterasked the poet why he was in prison, towhich he replied that he had written some-thing that the Queen had found a littledirect. The poet then asked the painter howhe had managed to end up in that situationto which the painter responded that he hadpainted the King in a way that he saw him,which the King had found insulting, he hadordered the canvas to be destroyed and the

painter sent to prison.

The following day at the usual time thepoet sat outside the cell door and quietlycalled for his friend. There was however noreply. The poet wandered slowly over to thegaoler’s guard and asked him who was inthe cell. The guard responded that a pardonhad come through the previous evening andthat now no one was there. The poet wasshocked, and as he caught his breath, com-manded that if he were to continue writingthe gaoler’s letters to his mistress he wouldpersonally wish to see that the cell wasindeed empty for himself. Whereupon, theguard, without hesitation lifted up his bunchof keys and escorted the poet to the cell. Hethen placed the key into the top and bottomlocks and with a mighty push opened thecast iron door.

It was indeed empty.

The poet stepped into the cell and look-ing at the four plain stone walls... gasped...for there was no window.

The Bastille fell a few months later givingfreedom to all.

The poets name was Francois-MarieArouet.

Some now know him as the great writerVoltaire.

THE POET AND THE PAINTER.

A TALEby Ted Stourton

Charles Thévenin “La prise de la Bastille”

CAMELOT CASTLE NEWS 7WWW.CAMELOTCASTLE.COM

THE WALLS OF CAMELOT CASTLE this spring andsummer will be adorned with paintings that someare calling the most priceless expression of beautyever to have been created by an artist in the last500 years.

And, while the prices of Stourton continueto rise fortunes may be made by some who aregetting behind the Stourton phenomenon andbeginning to stock his work, Stourton remainscompletely unaffected by the clamour andglamorous admirers that continue to seek his workout from all over the world.

Indeed the local Newquay airport isgetting quite used to the roar of Gulfstream jetengines as Stourton’s private collectors arrivefrom the far flung corners of the globe.

To try to describe the beauty of Stourton’sabstract realism in these works is a challenge thatI will not attempt here as I simply cannot do it

justice. However what I can tell you is that artcritics from around the world have nearlyunanimously acknowledged that beauty such asthis has not been created and viewed since thetime that Claude Monetdressed his salon in Paris; norhas the excitement that isbrewing in the art world beenso great concerning theproduction of an artist sincePicasso was creating in hisprime.

Each day Stourton canbe found in his subterraneanstudios at Camelot Castle andeach day a team of production assistants andcraftsmen work on an intense schedule to simplykeep up with the extraordinary creative flow andoutput that emanates from this one being, whosedestiny it seems is to raise the bar on beauty thateach being experiences as they come into contact

with his work.

“What a view” as one collector described,“to see all the wonders of paradise and beyond,

through the work”.

Stourton’s recent master piece dominatesthe Great Hall at Camelot Castle. Acolourful joy to behold, it is arepresentation and celebration of the circleof life and both the perfections andimperfections of the friendships therein.

The positive lift that Stourton is creatingfor the British and international art worldand its economics will be felt for many

years to come by fellow artists and the auctionhouses. The Stourton Spring and SummerCollection can be viewed at Camelot Castle atTintagel, Cornwall.

CAPTURED ON FILM FOR THE FIRST TIME

The Secret of Camelot Castle


IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE TWO PRIMARYPYRAMIDS OF INFORMATION, KNOWLEDGE ORDATA IN THIS UNIVERSE.

The first is THE PYRAMID OF TRUTH which isarranged axiomatically from the truest truthknown to man and descends or ascends (depend-ing on where one starts and one’s direction oftravel) in a pyramidal axiomatic codification ofnatural law and maps the full hierarchy of truthso far known by mankind.

Each truth in the PYRAMID OF TRUTH isranked by its survival value so naturally thehighest truth on the pyramid would have a high-er survival value than a lower truth.

Man has been aware of this primary pyra-mid for some years now and it can be accessedrather easily by those who are interested in thetruth.

However there is a second pyramid thatalso exists in the world today and that man inter-acts with regularly.

We call this:

THE PYRAMID OF LIES

It may strike you as quite normal that when wevisit the movies we don’t generally leave dis-gruntled because the film was not an accurate orentirely honest depiction of life.

It is accepted that such entertainment is fic-tion. And, that some fictions have a benign pur-pose.

Fictions are partly or totally a lie, and assuch reside in the Pyramid of Lies. That they maybe benign in full or in part does not excuse themfrom the pyramid of lies.

What you may or may not have consideredis that all such lies are part of a gradient scale orhierarchy and are arranged axiomatically and bytheir importance to life.

There is indeed a hierarchy of stories.

To put it simply some stories are told morethan others and some stories carry better and fur-ther and are more appealing to mankind.

There are differing qualities of stories and ofcommunications.

We are sure you may have noticed this.

The story of Camelot Castle, King Arthur,The Knights of the Round Table and the Search

for the Holy Grail is iconic for many reasonsbut it is interesting to note that no other storyis told from one man to another man moreoften across all of history than this Arthurianstory.

The Arthurian story traveled by word ofmouth for over 600 years before it was writtendown and is now told by Hollywood, the homeof modern storytellers, every year, year in yearout. It is retold more than any other story andfilmed in varying ways using varying har-monies, rhythms and systems.

The Arthurian story has been told onearth many billion times.

Some time ago we isolated why this was.

It seems that this particular story, mir-roring and acting as a harmonic for mankind'ssearch for truth, as embodied in the story ofthe Arthurian search for the Holy Grail, touch-es a basic chord of Freedom and a basic nobil-ity in the individual, both in a storyteller andin an audience, in a way that no other storyever has in man’s history.

And, for that reason, the ARTHURIANMYTH has come to occupy a primary positionat the very top of the PYRAMID OF LIES.

IT IS THE PRIME MYTH and in thatcapacity it serves and illuminates all othermyths.

THE ARTHURIAN MYTH, more than anyother, acts and serves to control, strengthenand weaken, increase or decrease the “HOPENEXUS” in the environment and perhaps mostimportantly in the mind of mankind. And asthis story perpetuates and is transferred frommind to mind using whatever medium, it main-tains and represents the very simple but valu-able idea:

“The Idea that “Truth” might exist.”

This idea in essence is the embodiment of hope.

When one looks at the Icon of KINGARTHUR, perhaps taking a longer term view ofculture than most are used to, one notes that hehas a powerful celebrity and a vast sphere ofinfluence and has become over the centuries aGlobal Icon that represents core values and cher-ished elements of freedom that in today’s materi-al world are becoming even more valued due totheir scarcity.

It is likely that in one thousand years thestory of King Arthur and his Knights and their

search for the Grail will still be told.

It is less likely that we will be discussingmany of the modern subjects of today’s mediaattention.

It is a simple extrapolation to understandthat in the game of “Quality of Communication”the Icons of our Culture play a major role.

A true ICON has the capacity to boom anarea by causing attention to land on a particulartruth or it has the capacity to send an area intooblivion by causing attention of those in the areato land on non-survival or less helpful factors.

To understand the power of an Icon intoday’s culture one needs to look no further thanthe Royal Wedding of the House of Windsor inApril 2011 that caused over two billion people totune into their televisions at the same time.

For that period the House of Windsor con-trolled the attention of two billion.

We have seen what a drug promoting popstar can do to the life of a child or to a fan baseand conversely what great leadership can do to awhole culture. We have seen governmentschange through social media.

All the reasons above are the reasons thatat Camelot Castle we are focused on helpingNEW Icons come into being.

By helping new and up and coming Iconsget access to the pyramid of truth and gain theexact data that they need to boom and transformtheir lives and the lives of others into a newrange of success we ensure that tomorrow’s Iconshave the best possible chance of leadership andcan fulfill their innate duty with considerableease.

For it is the Icons of the Future that will shapeour culture.

CAMELOT CASTLE AND THE ARTHURIAN MYTH

At Camelot we occupy and own a unique posi-tion at the meeting point of the two Pyramids ofExistence and we are using that position to deliv-er and increase hope and deliver true help.

Without hope, help is often inaccessible.

With hope a tremendous amount of help canoccur.

And for those individuals, artists or other-wise, whose life sometimes can seem “hopeless”we are indeed at Camelot Castle a beacon or rayof light that shines in the darkness unlike anyother light they have ever seen.

This light is the “The Magic of Camelot”.

There is no truth that is a secret from youtoday or cannot be discovered.

The helping and nurturing and mentoringof tomorrow’s Icons is something that we havebeen very successful with at Camelot Castle andacross our broader media group. We appreciategreatly all the help of our friends and the tremen-dous encouragement that we get in doing this.

Thank you.

THE PYRAMIDS OF EXISTENCE....

UNLOCKING THE DOOR TOARTISTIC VIABILITY.How can I survive or make itdoing the thing that I lovedoing the most?How could I truly survivebetter by being an artist?

These two questions are probably thetwo most often asked questions of thecreatively inclined and sadly these arethe two main questions that are com-pletely ignored at Art Schools aroundthe world or at Film Schools or gener-ally at any other school that teachesthe artistic disciplines.

The truth is most Art and Filmschool teachers simply don’t know theanswer.

Such schools focus in on what tocreate as an art form and how to tech-nically create that form which in ourexperience, save the basic necessity ofknowing technically how to createone’s art form, is actually the furthestthing away from an artist’s mind on adaily basis.

True artists tend to know thesethings already or with practice and loveof their art form will be able to achievethose technical abilities for themselvesin time. But how to be viable is some-thing that is very often completelyunknown by an artist.

We are often asked what is it thatwe are doing to help artists and HOWexactly is it that we achieve this. Thisshort explanation is a bit like trying tosum up a lifetime of experience in afew sentences but, we hope it helpsyou understand how it is that veryoften as a result of a visit to CamelotCastle an artist’s future success can beimmeasurably changed for the better.Often by just one introduction to theright person.

In one sentence....We helpartists become VIABLE.

For an artist, in livinglife, as well as being cre-ative, MUST have excel-lent entrepreneurial andadministrative skills andMUST understand the fac-tors that make him or herviable andwill result in an increas-ing income that is greaterthan their outgoings.

The founders of Camelot Castlehad the good fortune to live in creativeenvironments for many years, one ofthose being Hollywood, and haveworked with and alongside some of themost successful artists in the FilmBusiness and in the fine art world.They have interacted with artists formost of their working lives. Over thattime they have had the unique oppor-

tunity to isolate and observe some ofthe truly successful actions that resultin immediate and long term viability.We have seen what successful artistsdo as successful actions and we knowwhat works.

THE SEVEN BASIC DIVISIONS

As stated, the very last thing that anartist generally needs to be told to do or

advised on is how to cre-ate or what to create and itturns out that these twofunctions of how andwhat to create only repre-sent roughly one seventhof the functions needed tomake an artist viable andsuccessful in life.

For there are SEVENbasic actions or divisionsof function that need tohappen in order for anartist to start to achieve

growth and to be completely viablewith a stable life and career.

At Camelot Castle we know whatthese seven divisions are. We knowexactly how they work and how theylink to each other and we make surethat the artists that come to us for helpknow exactly what these divisions areand can then take actions in all sevenof those divisions. We show artistswhere they can get that knowledge and

help them get it.

At Camelot we believe in helpingget the best possible talent togetherwith the best possible teachers and ingetting that talent the actual informa-tion that they need to become VIABLEright now or as fast as possible.....andwhile there are no guarantees of suc-cess... often this knowledge is deeplyappreciated by an artist and very need-ed.

We think it is quite urgent.

For how many great masters of artand creativity have we as mankind anda culture lost down through the cen-turies because they could simply notunderstand HOW to be VIABLE.

So, in simple terms, we give artiststhe knowledge that they need to suc-ceed on their own and enjoy the free-doms that they deserve through theirart.

And that’s just one of the ways thatwe help artists at Camelot Castle.

Thank you for being here and help-ing us with this project.

We appreciate your friendship.

“WE ARE CREATION” - By Ted Stourton

IN THE HISTORY OF THE INTERNATIONAL ART world and across its length andbreadth there has never been an artist quite like Ted Stourton. Loved and adored bythe thousands of collectors who have been collecting his art over the last few years atan unprecedented rate, Stourton is not only one of the world’s most loved artists andone of the great personalities of English society but his work is totally outstanding.

Now feted in Hollywood and Beverly Hills, in noble households in Kazakhstanand Russia as well as the finest homes in Europe it is likely that there has never beforebeen such growing interest in one artist’s output of fine art. Stourton, who has madeit his policy to welcome his collectors and friends at his private home Camelot Castlein England, is now inspiring thousands of other artists across the world in a roll-outof the Stourton brand that will certainly turn heads and possibly raise a few of themore conservative eyebrows among observers of the art world. This year will seeStourton take centre stage internationally and with the output from his studios atCamelot Castle more prestigious and prolific than ever we may well witness some-thing that we have never seen before.

Stourton as usual is quite unphased by all the attention. “All my friends are wel-come at Camelot Castle and if they delight in the work then I am just as delighted asthey are.”

TED STOURTON’SPAINTINGS RISE IN POPULARITY!

“Friends into Eternity”by Ted Stourton (Oil on canvas) MAIL


BRING ME SUNSHINE is the new music videofrom UK’s Number One Jive and Swing band TheJive Aces. The video has started an enormousbuzz on youtube and had over 50,000 views inthe first week and has now had over 1 millionviews.

In the lavishly produced five-minute moviepromoting their new single, the band hijack adoom-laden TV newscast and cheer up viewerswith their jived-up version of the Morecambe &Wise classic.

Lead singer Ian Clarkson said: "It is a veryprofessional video that everyone enjoys watchingand has this effect of making you feel good. Nowonder it is the fastest moving rock'n'roll or jivevideo on YouTube. It's another chance to get some

good music out there and noticed by the averagepunter, spreading sunshine in a time of 'doomand gloom' and maybe even cutting through thestupor created by the endless stream of Britain'sGot Talent and X-Factor winners and runnersup."

The video was shot mainly at Bobby Jo's50s Diner in Southend-on-Sea, Essex but somescenes were filmed at another period venue, Cafe50s in Hollywood. Remarkably, additional film-ing was carried out in Taiwan, Ukraine, Indiaand Australia, where locals are seen watchingthe performance on TV.

Ian added: “Bring Me Sunshine was one ofthe first songs I learnt to play on the ukulele andI always loved it and I even got to play it for

Prince Charles at the VE Day celebrations lastyear. We chose the song as part of our forthcom-ing album King Of The Swingers, which is basi-cally a tribute to Louis Prima, the New Orleansborn singer best known for his role as King Louisin Disney’s Jungle Book. Although the song wasnever actually done by Prima, we decided to giveit a Prima arrangement as we felt the message ofthe song really summed up the effect his musichas had on the world and it's what we aspire todoing too, ie. making people happier. We hope thesales of the new album will do as well as theviews on youtube!”

THE PURPOSE OFCAMELOT CASTLE

Our purpose in creating Camelot Castle is to have a place whereanyone who agrees that life can be enhanced by natural beauty andart can come and experience that enhancement immediately and firsthand.

Camelot has the purpose to provide a unique space where people cancome to share both in the extraordinary natural beauty of our envi-ronment and in the extraordinary strength created when people ofgoodwill share their ideas and vision.

In c.800 A.D. Haroun Al Rashid, the supreme ruler of Baghdad, gov-erned and administrated the entire Arab world.

At that time, Haroun Al Rashid, the conceptual architect of the first“Golden Age”, passed a law. That law stated, that every Thursday,every Master of every intellectual or physical discipline, be itMathematics, Architecture, Religious, Political, or Creative mustattend court and Al Rashid stated that, by law, they should and mustshare their ideas. This one act caused a ripple of innovation and newideas that spread across the Arabic world and Mesopotamian cultureup through Spain and half of Europe. Indeed, ideas that occurred thenare still visible today across the civilised world.

What was only known by a handful of people until today was the factthat Haroun Al Rashid also issued every law and every order to hisempire using Formal Arabic Poetry.

As early as 800 A.D. Haroun Al Rashid had isolated the power of theuse of aesthetics and beauty in carrying a message across thousandsof miles and great distances.

For this reason, the poets and artists of Baghdad were some of thegreatest that the world has ever known. The Arabian Nights were writ-ten in his honour and Harun is immortalized in them. Haroun AlRashid was probably one of the greatest champions of creativity thatthe world has ever seen.

There are two other well known non-religious occasions in recent his-tory, when men have risen to this extraordinary level of responsibilityand wisdom. The first was the formation of the Round Table at theCourt of Arthur Pendragon on the advice of Merlin, which cracked thesuppression of the Dark Ages across Europe. The other was thestructure and codification of the American Constitution by theFounding Fathers.

The Founders of Camelot have been able to research deeper into thewisdoms of the East than ever before. They have been able to drawon the modern and workable wisdom embodied in the freedomsestablished and maintained by the United States. And, through uniqueaccess and friendships in the Middle East the Founders have isolatedsome previously unguessed at importances, heralded by Arabic cul-ture, that will affect the entire future of mankind.

So when you visit us at Camelot and share your ideas here at ourRound Table realise that you are being and becoming part of a pur-pose line that is indeed both ancient and of the future. For these pur-poses are woven through the very fabric and the structure of our soci-eties.

They are the weft and warp of creativity.

Truthfully, there has never been a time in the world when the sharingof ideas across the world is more important than right here right now.

The importance of our artists to our society has been grossly under-estimated and it is time that we began to value the contribution thatour own creativity can make.

Camelot is here today so that you can experience, tap into and beyour creativity.

Even the greatest barriers surrender to the creativity of man.

Our purpose is for you to create yourself and thus, to enhance all life.


Hā rū n al-Rashīd (Arabic: and Persian:نوراه ديشرلا also spelled HarounAl Rashid; English: Aaron the Upright, Aaron the Just, or Aaron theRightly-Guided; March 17, 763 – March 24, 809) was the fifth and mostfamous Abbasid Caliph. He was born in Rayy, near Tehran, Iran, andlived in Baghdad, Iraq and most of his reign in Ar Raqqah at the middleEuphrates.

He ruled from 786 to 809, and his time was marked by scientific, cultur-al and religious prosperity. Art and music also flourished significantlyduring his reign. He established the library Bayt al-Hikma ("House ofWisdom").

Since Harun was intellectually, politically and militarily resourceful, his life and the courtover which he held sway have been the subject of many fictional tales: some are factualbut most are believed to be fictitious. An example of what is known to be factual is thestory of the Clock that was among various presents that Harun had delightfully sent toCharlemagne. The presents were carried by the returning Frankish mission that came tooffer Harun friendship in 799. Charlemagne and his retinue deemed the clock to be a con-juration for the sounds it emanates and the tricks it displays every time an hour ticks.Among what is known to be fictional is the famous The Book of One Thousand and OneNights containing many stories that are fantasized by Harun's magnificent court, andeven Harun al-Rashid himself.

When the breeze of a joyful dawn blew freeIn the silken sail of infancy,The tide of time flow'd back with me,The forward-flowing tide of time;And many a sheeny1 summer-morn,Adown the Tigris2 I was borne,By Bagdat's3 shrines of fretted gold,High-walled gardens green and old;True Mussulman4 was I and sworn,

For it was in the golden prime5

Of good Haroun Al Rashid.

Anight6 my shallop7, rustling thro'8

The low and bloomed foliage, droveThe fragrant, glistening deeps, and clove9

The citron-shadows in the blue:By garden porches on the brim,The costly doors flung open wide,Gold glittering thro' lamplight dim,And broider'd10 sofas on each side:In sooth11 it was a goodly time,For it was in the golden prime


Often, where clear-stemm'd platans12 guardThe outlet, did I turn awayThe boat-head down a broad canalFrom the main river sluiced13, where allThe sloping of the moon-lit sward14

Was damask-work15, and deep inlay16

Of braided blooms unmown, which creptAdown17 to where the water slept.A goodly place, a goodly time,For it was in the golden prime


A motion from the river wonRidged the smooth level, bearing onMy shallop thro' the star-strown calm,Until another night in nightI enter'd, from the clearer light,Imbower'd18 vaults of pillar'd palm,Imprisoning sweets, which, as they clomb19

Heavenward, were stay'd beneath the domeOf hollow boughs.—A goodly time,For it was in the golden prime


Still onward; and the clear canalIs rounded to as clear a lake.From the green rivage20 many a fallOf diamond rillets21 musical,Thro' little crystal arches lowDown from the central fountain's flowFall'n silver-chiming22, seem'd to shakeThe sparkling flints23 beneath the prow24.A goodly place, a goodly time,For it was in the golden prime


Above thro' many a bowery25 turnA walk with vary-colour'd shellsWander'd26 engrain'd27. On either sideAll round about the fragrant marge28

From fluted29 vase, and brazen30 urnIn order, eastern flowers large,Some dropping low their crimson bellsHalf-closed, and others studded wideWith disks31 and tiars32, fed the timeWith odour in the golden prime


Far off, and where the lemon-groveIn closest coverture33 upsprung,The living airs34 of middle nightDied round the bulbul35 as he sung;

Not he: but something which possess'dThe darkness of the world, delight,Life, anguish, death, immortal love,Ceasing not, mingled, unrepress'd,Apart from place, withholding time,But flattering the golden prime


Black the garden-bowers and grots36

Slumber'd: the solemn palms were rangedAbove, unwoo'd37 of summer wind:A sudden splendour from behindFlush'd all the leaves with rich gold-green,And, flowing rapidly betweenTheir interspaces, counterchangedThe level lake with diamond-plotsOf dark and bright. A lovely time,For it was in the golden prime


Dark-blue the deep sphere overhead,Distinct with vivid stars inlaid,Grew darker from that under-flame:So, leaping lightly from the boat,With silver anchor left afloat,In marvel whence that glory cameUpon me, as in sleep I sankIn cool soft turf upon the bank,Entranced with that place and time,So worthy of the golden prime


Thence thro' the garden I was drawn—A realm of pleasance38, many a mound,And many a shadow-chequer'd lawnFull of the city's stilly sound,And deep myrrh-thickets blowing roundThe stately cedar, tamarisks39,Thick rosaries of scented thorn,Tall orient shrubs, and obelisks40

Graven with emblems of the time,In honour of the golden prime


With dazed vision unawaresFrom the long alley's latticed shadeEmerged, I came upon the greatPavilion of the Caliphat41.Right to the carven cedarn42 doors,Flung inward over spangled43 floors,Broad-based flights of marble stairsRan up with golden balustrade44,After the fashion of the time,And humour of the golden prime


The fourscore windows all alightAs with the quintessence45 of flame,A million tapers46 flaring brightFrom twisted silvers look'd to shame47

The hollow-vaulted dark, and stream'd48

Upon the mooned domes aloofIn inmost Bagdat, till there seem'dHundreds of crescents on the roofOf night new-risen, that marvellous time,To celebrate the golden prime


Then stole I up, and trancedly49

Gazed on the Persian girl alone,Serene with argent-lidded50 eyesAmorous, and lashes like to raysOf darkness, and a brow of pearlTressed51 with redolent ebony,In many a dark delicious curl,Flowing beneath her rose-hued zone;The sweetest lady of the time,Well worthy of the golden prime


Six columns, three on either side,Pure silver, underpropt52 a richThrone of the massive ore, from whichDown-droop'd, in many a floating fold,Engarlanded and diapere’d53

With inwrought flowers, a cloth of gold.Thereon, his deep eye laughter-stirr'dWith merriment of kingly pride,Sole star of all that place and time,I saw him—in his golden prime,

LOSING A CHILD is a tragedy. Losing a childneedlessly is a crime. Ten-year-old HarryHucknall exemplifies this. In March, WestCumbria Coroner Ian Smith found that Harry,the cousin of Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall,had hanged himself while taking an antidepres-sant fluoxetine (Prozac) and Ritalin. The postmortem-tests revealed Harry had above the nor-mal therapeutic level of the antidepressant givento adults. “This was not suicide for one minute,”the coroner determined. “I record that Harry diedas a consequence of his own actions withoutunderstanding their true consequences.”

Harry’s death is not an isolated case, whichis why in 2003 the Medicines and Healthcareproducts Regulatory Agency (MHRA) ruled thatantidepressants should not be prescribed tothose younger than 18 years old. The U.S. Foodand Drug Administration (FDA) issued the samewarning a year later. A year too late for 17-yearold Matthew Steubing prescribed Lexapro forusual teenage angst. The avid sportsman com-mitted suicide eight weeks later.

Matthew’s death sparked a mother’s searchfor the truth about antidepressants to discoverthe information that she and Matthew had beendenied. Information that had Celeste Steubingknown, Matthew would be alive today. Andeven, perhaps, Harry.

Dead Wrong: How Psychiatric Drugs CanKill Your Child is a compelling film produced byaward-winning documentary makers for the

Citizens Commission on Human Rights(CCHR), an acclaimed international psychiatricwatchdog group established by the Church ofScientology in 1969.

Of course, one could reasonably expect Mrs.Steubing should have been able to get the factsfrom a responsible drug company or psychia-trist, but the reasons she could-n’t are very much a part of thestory you see in Dead Wrongand hardly surprising whenyou consider statistics.

The number of school-children prescribed antidepres-sants and mind-altering drugshas more than quadrupled inthe last decade in the UK.Under-16s were given drugs for“psychiatric” problems morethan 631,000 times in 2006,compared to just 146,000 in themid-Nineties.

Use of Ritalin, known as the “chemicalcosh,” have doubled in just four years and isnearly 100 times greater than in the earlyNineties. Doctors dispensed 254,000 prescrip-tions for the drug last year, up from 208,500 in2001,according to figures from the PrescriptionPricing Authority.

And therein lies the greater reason for par-ents being denied the facts. Psychiatrists and

others prescribing the drug rake in a prettypenny. Ritalin costs between £200 and £1,000per year per child, depending on the dose andfollow up assessments. NHS spending on thedrug between 1999 and 2003 alone more thantrebled from about £251,000 to £786,000.

Parents are also not informed that the “psy-chiatric” disorders for which thesedrugs are prescribed cannot be med-ically confirmed with any physicaltest as medical conditions can. NHSadmits, “There is no cure for atten-tion deficit hyperactivity disorder….”

Brian Daniels, UK spokespersonfor CCHR, said, “Parents deserve toknow the truth. The facts in DeadWrong can help protect children andtheir families. There are alternativesto mind-altering and potentiallylethal drugs and parents need todemand to be informed of these.”

Mrs. Steubing adds, “We hope that by shar-ing Matthew’s story, other families will be sparedthe devastating heartbreak we live with everyday.”

HILDA VAN DER MEULEN

FRIEND OF CAMELOT CASTLE AND ICON OF THE FUTURE HILDA VAN DER MEULENhas been a Friend of Camelot for many years and has both helped Camelot and beenhelped by the expansion of the creative projects that Camelot helps and promotes.

Today Hilda is sitting at the peak of what has become one of the most excitingEntertainment careers in Europe. She has a string of film productions to her nameand on the production slate and she is respected in an industry where one’s stripesare hard earned.

With unique insight into private fundraising and government funding systemsfor films across Europe, Hilda is both director of a Dutch International FilmProduction Company and an actress in several Hollywood and EuropeanProductions. She has indeed managed to bridge that sometimes hard to negotiategap between the creative world of film and television both behind and in front ofthe Camera and the financial and business end of what can be a very competitiveindustry, even if you have beauty, talent and win the title of Miss Holland at the ten-der age of eighteen.

Endemol is of course well known in the UK as the originator and producer ofBig Brother and grandfather of reality TV, but it was John de Mol himself (founderof Endemol) who first noticed Hilda's ability when she won Miss Holland as anaspiring model and actress....Now a few years on and with the help of her friendsin the entertainment industry in Hollywood and across the film capitals of Europeher star continues to rise to new heights.

What few in the film world knew until recently, was that through her familyin Friesland especially her father, a great horseman, Hilda had for many yearsworked and trained in the equestrian field, training and showing the finest horsesfor the dressage and show jumping circuits in Holland and the US. It is that love thathas finally flowered over the past five years and has resulted in her breakthroughinto the world of Equestrian Film Production.

She recently was the creative producer and co-writer of the film "Penny'sShadow". The film enjoyed a theatrical release and is a wonderful family picture thatpremiered in film theatres to great acclaim. And Hilda will be presenting her ownTVseries, airing this fall on Dutch national TV RTL4, about horses and the aestheticworld that comes with it.

"To be able to merge the equestrian world and my love of film has always beenmy dream and today in no little part due to my friendship with Camelot Castle thatdream has become a reality"

"Actually breaking a movie star or producing a film is not completely unlikebreaking a horse, people think you have to be tough when you break a horse andindeed people think that you have to be tough as a film producer but in reality youhave to be extremely kind to a horse to create a champion and a winner. You actu-ally have to be extremely friendly and to really and truly get into communicationwith that horse. The very same communication skills and abilities are needed of agreat actor or a writer or a producer. You need to connect with the spirit of the storythat you are telling and with the audiences that are going to receive that story. And,of course, (laughs) you also sometimes have to when it comes to the actual produc-tion or closing a deal, have a firm and deft hand and be a bit tough and persistent,but in the end it’s all about good communication."

"I suppose that’s where my connection with Camelot Castle has been most valu-able, the value of high quality communication. Because that communication andinterest and knowing that there is a place that one can always go that is friendly andthat is totally interested in you doing well as an artist and as an entrepreneur is price-less. That is a great feeling"

"I know I can always come to Camelot and will be welcome."

What do you see as the most valuable aspect of Camelot'shelp?

To have a team like Camelot that supports you and believesin you is a wonderful feeling. It's the amount of time and carethat was given to me when I needed it most and a high levelof understanding that takes precedence over it all.

What were the consequences to you of that help?

I have become stronger, more stable and I've learnt to strate-gically align all my actions towards my goals in such a waythat I keep achieving them! I keep having to move the goalposts into an ever widening sphere... my dream was to takeon Hollywood and I'm doing it... movies, singing, commer-cials, print, charity work, red carpet events. And I LOVE whatI do!

What would you say to other artists looking for help withtheir success as artists?

Persistence is key! Have a great team of people around youand ask for help when you need it! Rome wasn't built in aday and you don't have to go at it alone!

How do you see your career progressing from here?

I have huge goals and I see myself achieving all of them andmaking bigger ones! The next step for me is to create andrecord my debut album which I am really excited about.

So what has been happening to you recently?

I booked the lead in the remake of Dracula and filmed thathere in LA. It will be released this year. I have worked withsome amazing photographers, one of my personal favouriteswas Jill Greenberg and I've been in print and TV ads forclients such as Subaru as well as recording several voiceovers. I've sung at some of the mostprestigious hotels and events in LA,including just recently, the BeverlyWilshire in Beverly Hills. My work asAmbassador for The Foundation for aDrug Free World took me to Oklahomaat the end of last year where I per-formed a show, singing for the localsto help kids learn more about the risksof drugs and I've given seminars tochildren of all ages and written andrecorded songs about leading a drugfree life for the Foundation.

What is the most fun thing that hashappened to you as an artist?

There is nothing more fun than beingon stage singing and I'm excited now to be performing moreand more original material and playing to larger and largeraudiences.I must add that filming the commercial for Subaru was somuch fun too! We were speeding around Downtown LA at

4am with a Police Escort!

What’s the best thing about your move to Hollywood?

Apart from waking up each morning to blue sky and palmtrees the best thing is that I'm here doing it! I'm not thinkingwhat if...

Who is the most interesting artist thatyou have had the opportunity to inter-act with or meet?

I had Steve Perry (lead singer from theband Journey) to my house for a dinnerparty with some friends of mine and Iloved hearing all his stories! I alwaysadmired his voice and anyone that sings'Don't Stop Believing' has to be prettyspecial. A man after my own heart!

What is it that you like about being aCamelot Castle Alumnni?

I feel very proud to have the support ofsuch an amazing group of people and I'm

very grateful - Thank you!!!

Well good luck from all your friends and supporters atCamelot Castle. May your star continue to rise.You deserve it.....

We had a chat with Victoria to find out more.

How has your life changed since connecting upwith the Camelot Icons of the future program?

My life has completely changed. Often it is difficultfor an artist to have the support to concentrate ontheir craft; they are often distracted by having to doother jobs that may not necessarily contribute to theirgoals and purposes. Because of the help I havereceived from Camelot and the Icons of the Future pro-gramme, I have not only been able to take the time tobetter myself as an artist but I've also had the confi-dence and guidance to dream bigger than ever before.

THE TALENTED

MISS SUMMER

AS AN ALUMNI of the ‘Icons of the Future’sponsorship programme I want to share mysuccess with you all since connecting upwith John, Irina and Ted at Camelot Castle.

As a singer/songwriter, I had been workinghard over the past few years to really make myvision of my music and my team into a reality.In June last year the ‘Icons of the Future’ spon-sorship programme and Camelot Castle helpedfund the exact creative and artistic study that Ihad wanted and needed to do for a very longtime.

This was without question a turning pointin my life.

Since then my career has really taken off,

not to mention many other successes withinmy family and personal life. My vision is clear-er and more focused than ever before and Ihave begun to now create the team around meI have always dreamed of and I am currentlyworking with some amazing writers, producersand teachers. I have a newfound excitementand drive to succeed and the support I havehad from my great friends at Camelot John,Irina and Ted and all the staff that work so hardto put the project there has really made a hugedifference.

I would also like to thank all the friends ofCamelot Castle and the ‘Icons of the Future’ pro-gram all across the world for how you havehelped and for helping me make my dreamscome true.

ICON OF THE FUTURE

VICTORIA SUMMER“I would also like tothank all the friends ofCamelot Castle and the‘Icons of the Future’ program all across theworld for how youhave helped and forhelping me make mydreams come true. ”

PREVIOUSLY WE PRESENTED VICTORIA SUMMER TO YOU....

LOOK WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO VICTORIA NOW......

From our last edition:

“To have a teamlike Camelotthat supportsyou and believesin you is awonderfulfeeling.”


WHAT IS IT THAT REALLY CAUSES US to experience true relax-ation? A change of environment? New Ideas? An ancient truth?Excellent food? Fine art? The most dramatic coastline in Britain?Getting back to the beauty of nature? A revitalised sense of pur-pose? A stunning Historical environment? Tapping into one’s deep-est creative resources? Or just feeling at home among friends?

At Camelot Castle one experiences all that and more.Standing on the Cornish headland by Tintagel, the Historical birthplace of King Arthur has come to life. Camelot Castle was trans-formed a few years by Media Entrepreneurs John and IrinaMappin and Ted Stourton into what has been one of the most stun-ning places in the UK to visit.

As you walk by the sea and drink up the sea air you realisethat a visit here once in a while is the exact antidote for the busycity life that many of us lead.

Dinner is served by an outstanding brigade of chefs that havebeen flown in and recruited from the Jumeirah Group in Dubai.Indeed so delicious are the menus at Camelot that the most stress-ful decision of the weekend is deciding what not to have. The foodis English with an international theme and the deserts are com-pletely irresistible. The Crème Brule that I had on my first evening

was one of the best ever.

Breakfast is both traditional and generous, served again bygraceful Peter the Maitre’d, in a style more expected in Gstaad thaton the Cornish Riviera (not surprising as the owners grew up inthe Palace hotel there).

The whole focus and ethos of this stunning hotel is designedto invite you to explore new ways to relax and to regenerate yourcreativity, that true essence of being that is the reason that we arealive.

My room had the most sumptuous four poster bed and en suitebathroom that was the size of most bedrooms complete withJacuzzi.

And what a view! A 270 degree view of the Atlantic ocean.

Tintagel has always held a wonderful significance for me, inmany ways it is the quintessence of England.

Now with the rebirth of Camelot Castle we will always havethat special home from home, a private getaway which allows meto treasure the real me that I know and love.

Flitty’s Purposes

Up on a cloud and far away,There sits ‘Flitty’ on a Summers Day.

What does it do? No one quite knows,It actually quite likes to wiggle its toes.It likes to take a look, at this and that,

And wonder where everybody’s at.Once in a while it will wander over,And Sniff the Kiss of a Bee on clover.

But should the Bee become aware,Of Flitty’s gaze and helpful stare,Or try to see young Flitty’s face,

Bang! - Flitty was never there in the first place.And that doesn’t mean that Flitty’s shy,

But if you have ever wondered whyThe tick goes tock or the tock goes tick,

It’s just another Flitty trick.Some go for Gold and dig in the ground.

Not Flitty, It moves Thought around.And not your naughty stinky thought,

Just what Flitty likes, or what it feels it ought.It flits over this and hovers over that,

Who knows, Flitty might be sitting under your hat.When you think that Flitty’s gone, or was never there,

It’s then that Flitty will give you a scare.So what is this purpose of this ditty?

Or indeed are the purposes of our Flitty?The answer to that lies somewhere in the middle

Of this ‘Flitty de Flit’ or perky riddle.

So riddle me this or riddle me that,But just take a peek under Your hat.

John Mappin


Flitty’s Twinkle

Is this the twinkle of our “Flitty”,Famed of fable and of ditty?

It seems that Flitty’s been to sleep,But now has woken to help and heapUpon all those whom fortune favours,Wealth surpassing all the neighbours.

Freedoms scarce imagined come To those upholding Freedoms won.

So like the Raven in the sky, If YOU have ever wondered if

The wind is free upon the cliff, Or if light is that free too.

Recognise this… All the beauty and freedom that is true,

Resides in YOU!

John Mappin 2008


WHY DO WE PRINT POSITIVE NEWS?IT’S VERY SIMPLE. BECAUSE OF YOU.

WHAT IS VALIDATED in the society increas-es and you get more of it. What is invalidat-ed you get less of. A society gets what it putsits attention on.

Take a walk around your local commu-nity and ask yourself this simple question. Isit an ideal scene?

At Independent Local NewspapersGroup we are dedicated to the creation andmaintaining of ideal scenes. Where there isan ideal scene occurring we help maintain it.Where a scene is not ideal we help to put anideal one there. We know that ideal scenesare possible and we strive to create themboth in our businesses and in the environ-ments in which we operate.

Now, before you get any idea that pos-itive news is wishy-washy news, low impact,or news that does not count, think again.

When we expose (as we have done) thesimple fact that thousands of children acrossthe UK are being incorrectly prescribeddrugs such as Ritalin and other psychiatricdrugs based on a false diagnosis of com-pletely bogus made up disorders (add/adhd)for which there is no scientific proof what-

soever, by psychiatrists whoeither have criminal inten-tions or who are personallyglib and have been wilfullymiseducated by drug com-panies, that’s positive. Yousee, mothers, fathers andhonest concerned peoplecan read about things likethis and start doing some-thing about it and as a result we then end upwith less kids on Ritalin who do better inschool and, eventually, less drug addicts inyour community.

Yes, there is a connection and it doesaffect you.

And such truth ripples out throughcommunities through word of mouth, acrossthe internet and into people’s homes inLondon and around the world.

So we really appreciate your support ofour Newspaper Group. Every reader, everyadvertiser, and every ally in the world thatwe have helps. All your good intentions andactions towards us are extremely valuable.We believe that what we are doing is valu-able. We mainly enjoy and like to point out

the positive good people thatare doing great things in thecommunity locally so if youdo know about anyone whois doing well and whoshould be validated for theirgood actions please take thetime to write to me person-ally. We always try to dosomething and I always

reply to such letters personally.

One more thing, we are interested tomeet and work with more journalists thatagree with the above purpose who wouldlike to work full or part time on really posi-tive high impact stories, journalists that canand want to help us create and maintainideal scenes. Please write to me at [email protected]

You may also find it useful to take the timeto view our web siteswww.londonlocals.co.ukand www.camelotcastle.com. You may findthat there are additional concepts and prod-ucts there that are valuable to you.

FOR THE INTELLECTUAL BILLIONAIRE WHO HAS SEENAND EXPERIENCED EVERYTHING ELSE… NOW THERE ISCAMELOT CASTLE

For those who think they have seen and heard it all….thinkagain. Some say it is the stunning work of artist TedStourton that is causing the flow of private jets intoNewquay airport. And it’s true that the prices thatStourton is now getting for his paintings in the secondarymarket are the investment talk of the modern fine artworld. Collectors from Chelsea, London, Beverly Hills,California, the Dutch collectors of grand masters and eventhe most discerning Swiss collectors are beating a path tohis private studio. (And Stourton’s studio without a doubtcommands one of the most stunning positions of anyartist’s studio in the world.) Some say that it is the uniquelocation and natural beauty of Camelot Castle and the his-tory and the story that it foreshadows that is captivatingthe imagination of the most refined minds that the worldhas to offer. Some say it is the exquisite cuisine, cooked byfive star chefs flown in from Dubai, experienced in a clifftop restaurant overlooking the Atlantic with one of themost dramatic and finest views in all creation that hasthese connoisseurs of life finding their way here.

But some are going still further and saying thatat Camelot lies a jewel, so unique, and that at its heart liesa spiritual evolution and wisdom and a precise higherintelligence accessible to all, that many who have come

here have sensed and that some who journey here areindeed actively seeking.

The founder of the project Mr John Mappinexplains it this way “There are many types of people thatcome to Camelot Castle. The type we love are completelygenuine, they come in friendship and are genuine seekers ofbeauty. Such peoplefind Camelot fascinat-ing, they love thebeauty of the place inall its forms and thistype often have themost incredible winson arrival. As the proj-ect has evolved wehave become very for-tunate and seem to beconstantly surroundedby our friends. It doesmake for a very warma n d c o n d u c i v eatmosphere. I am surethat this is part ofwhat makes Camelotso unique”

“At this time we do have some unique abilities andtruths at Camelot Castle and we are able and are delighted

to be able to dispel many of the mysteries that have beenplaguing mankind for centuries. Mystery causes a great dealof stress and unhappiness and so when these get cleared upfor someone they can indeed experience a tremendousamount of relief. It is quite priceless.”

It is little wonder then that in these days ofcelebrity overload and internet addiction, that simpletruths, the extraordinary natural beauty of Tintagel,Cornwall and the expressions of artistic beauty that flowfrom Mr Stourton’s canvasses could be causing so muchmomentum and word of mouth for Camelot Castle; andindeed are causing not a few billionaires to alter the courseof their Gulfstream jets from Nice Airport and the beachesof Monaco and StTropez and the ski slopes of St.Moritz,Gstaad and Courchevel to experience an entirely differentexperience at Tintagel.

Without a doubt Camelot Castle is a completelyunique experience and until you have experienced it foryourself you will not entirely understand it.

Fortunately all are welcome at Camelot and ourprices are of great comfort to the wallet of even the mostdiscerning billionaire.

Danania

If you want her, she will run from you.

If you chase her you’re dammed.

You can run around the world for her,

You’ll kiss an empty hand.

But the moment that you turn your back,

She’ll dance across the sand,

She will shower you with kisses,

She will give you all her land.

She would lay her life before you,

She would give all her pearls,

And that no small memento,

For she’s the guidon of all girls.

“Danania”* is her name.

To be like gossamer her game.

And the harder that you play for her

You’ll play into your shame.

For the wisest of the wise have been captured and restrained,

By the merest whispered mention of Danania, by name.

The Dance of Danania is seductive and sweet.

With one twist she has the rulers of Empires at her feet,

And as they shout her name and worship her,

Call Danania across the land,

Those truly wise look down and mark their footsteps in

the sand.

John Mappin 2006

(*”Danania” is the Arabic word for “Money” and was also the name of the love of Haroun Al Rashid,c.820 Ruler and Caliph of Bagdhad, architect of the Golden Age and minter of the first ever gold coin.)


IF EARLY REPORTS FROM THE BIGGESTmusic market in the world are true, thenplanet Earth is about to experience theWon-G effect. In London, where Won-G isstructuring deals with entertainment lead-ers, people are now asking: Who is Won-Gand where does he come from? The Won-Gstory is fascinating.

Few MCs can claim the accomplish-ments of Won-G, “The Haiti Boy.” Talented,charismatic and personable, he was born inPort Au Prince, Haiti, on August 29th1978. He spent his early years betweenBrooklyn and Los Angeles and was nostranger to hard work, since his dad ownedand operated a fleet of trucks in the con-struction and paving business. The secondoldest of twelve children (six boys and sixgirls), Won-G was raised in a tight-knitfamily structure and considers his businessan “independent family business.” His olderbrother, Dubble-M, produced the majorityof Won-G's music, and his father, Macneal,plays a critical role in all of his businessventures. “Pops is like – everything: ourmanager, guide, and spiritual consultant,”exclaims Won-G. “In fact, our military-styleupbringing instilled in me the discipline Ineeded to make my mark on the streets.”

Won-G’s 12-year music career, duringwhich he's released five independentalbums, has culminated in Real SovageMusic, LLC, his first non-undergroundlabel. Won-G's previous releases are:Shadow of the Rains (1993), Do It, Do It,Won-G (1995), Royal Impression(2000), No Better Than This

(2001), and Explosion (2002). He's workedwith a wide variety of musical talent,including rappers Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Da Brat, and Tupac’s Outlawz;as well as world-renowned producers RicWake, DJ Quik, Johnny J, and L.T.Hutton. He has featured pin-up beauties(who are also personal friends) such asCarmen Electra, Traci Bingham and ParisHilton in his videos.

With the release of his latest album,“Rage of the Age,” which has already pro-duced a hit single and video “Caught Up inthe Rapture,” Won-G is poised to bolsterhis street credibility to the national level.Paying homage to the seminal 1980Blondie hit “Rapture,” this Hip-Hop ver-sion of the Blondie classic has been down-loaded over 600,000 times within the firstmonth after its release on AOL’s music serv-ice. The hardcore, pulsating “Blind Man”and the Caribbean-inspired “I'm AHaitian” address prejudice against Haitiansat home and abroad, while offering some ofthe historical accomplishments of hisbeloved homeland, Haiti, the world's firstBlack Republic in 1804.

Won-G's impressive ability to rap andrhyme in four languages (English, French,Creole and Spanish) sets him apart fromother hip-hop artists and creates fantasticopportunities in international markets. Infact, Won-G and his special blend of Hip-Hop/R&B was presented to the world inJanuary at MIDEM 2007 in Cannes, France.

Real Sovage Music will makeavailable, for the first time, aCD reflecting Won-G’s bestwork, as well as two profes-sionally created videos,“Nothing’s Wrong” withTraci Bingham, and

“Caught Up In The Rapture”with Paris Hilton and GizelleD’Cole. The CD will also con-tain club versions, and will beready for release this Spring.

Although he could havecapitalized on his friendshipwith Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg,and several other notable hip-hop artists, Won-G has alwaysbeen determined to make it onhis own terms. “’Rage of the

Age’ is my first major release asfar as national MTV, BET andcommercial play are concerned.Even though we have a popcrossover record for the masses,we're still keeping the streets on

lock. I try to stay as close to theHaitian community as possible

because, first and foremost, they aremy people and they have shown meincredible support over the years. I’vebuilt my own fan base by utilizingindependent distributors and streetteams, consisting mostly of imme-

diate and extended family. Myunderground following has beenmost prevalent in Miami, New

York, Boston, Little Haiti, Jamaica, Dallas,Houston, New Orleans and, of course, Cali.So, with the mass street credibility that Ihave achieved over the last ten years, thenext step is to get great national and inter-national distribution deals,” exclaims theH a i t i a n - b o r nrapper/tycoon.

Won-G is currentlyin the studio working onhis new album, “Prince ofthe City.” While thisalbum will feature LionelRitchie, Snoop Dogg, 50Cent, T.I., Nelly, GeorgeClinton, and several otherbig names like Fat Joe andJadakiss, future releaseswill feature some of ourold-school megastars likePatti Labelle, SmokeyRobinson, and StevieWonder.

In addition to hismusical efforts, Won-G isextremely active in his community.Presently Won-G is serving as Haiti'sAmbassador of Good Will for Childrenand as spokesperson for YAPI (YouthAdvocate Program International). TheHaiti Boy has a long history of supportingcharitable causes, such as RADD(Recording Artists, Actors, & AthletesAgainst Drunk Driving), Priscilla Presley'sDream Foundation, and Malibu's BonyPony Ranch, which is dedicated to the

rehabilitation of underprivileged childrenand at-risk youth.

From the days of slingin’ CDs on thestreets to cruising in his Rolls RoycePhantom, Won-G has always kept it real.

Being subject to nei-ther drink nor smoke,Won-G has donenumerous “Anti-Drug/Stay-In-SchoolTours” throughout thecountry and is anexcellent role modelfor our youth. Alwayssympathetic to the lessfortunate in life, TheHaiti Boy never hesi-tates to say a kindword to any personwho may cross hispath.

"There are somany rebellious kidsout there and theyneed to have opportu-

nities to channel their energy in constructiveways," says Won-G. "That's why I namedmy album ‘Rage of the Age.’ I want to usemy music and my life to show our youngpeople that ‘you can make a difference andmake the world a better place.’ I was able tofollow my dream and get to where I am inlife because I had people who believed in me.I want the kids out there to know that theycan accomplish everything I have andmore!"

Being subject toneither drink norsmoke, Won-G hasdone numerous“Anti-Drug/Stay-In-School Tours”throughout thecountry and is anexcellent rolemodel for ouryouth.


TAKING THE URBAN MARKETS BY STORM

Won-G

AMERICAN POLITCIANS and our media are not nec-essarily the best representation for trueAmericans and in recent months have contributedto creating a global picture of America that is bothinaccurate and destructive to the future.

In these times of rising anti-Americanismin Europe and in other parts of the world it isvery important that we do not forget exactly whyit is that the good works of many have blessedAmerica.

I was personally fortunate enough to live inthe United States for six years and during thattime I had the good fortune and honour to meetmany people from all over the United States.Some of those friendships have become some ofthe most cherished and valued in our life.

I could not have hoped, on the whole tohave met a kinder and more generous group ofsouls during the time we spent there, and it isfair to say that living in America, meeting andgetting to know Americans and learning theirvalues and ideas gave me back my hope inhumanity. And, directly as a result of thathope we now have been able, at CAMELOTCASTLE, to forward that hope to thousands ofother people.

We should remember that America wasfounded by those determined to escape andoppose religious persecution in Europe and theFounding Fathers set in stone a declaration ofIndependence, a Constitution and a Bill of Rightsthat between them represent some of the mostvaluable documents ever written on behalf ofmankind to help mankind and to securemankind’s freedom.

It delights us that the hope and wonderfullypositive feeling that people find here today atCamelot Castle was in part catalysed by theAmerican values, hope and basic goodness that Iran into with Americans of all types when I livedthere.

The romantic in me would like to think thatthis was the same hope that was carried toAmerica on the Mayflower from these Britishshores in the first place. And, igniting life andlives in the Americas, was the same hope thatcarried on in the hearts and minds of the menand women who forged a great nation nowknown as the United States of America.

Whatever the truth is or from wherever thathope “sprung” it was unmistakable when Iencountered it in the United States in 1991.

In America the idea that “ANYTHING ISPOSSIBLE” is known and understood and sits atthe core of the entire country’s existence.

And, it is because of that innate understanding offreedom, that anything is indeed possible.

For those people who have existed in societiesor areas where this idea has been suppressed orknocked out, it is sometimes hard to really under-stand the USA and the people’s optimism but whenone experiences this understanding for oneself it isquite priceless and unmistakable.

A man’s dreams are sacred and when aman is allowed or given a free space in which todream very often those dreams will come intoreality. In America one is invited to dream,indeed one is invited to dream big!

It is traditional in acknowledging Americato roll out the stars and the well-known figures ofthe day but today I want to invite you to thinkabout and bless the real treasure of America.

ITS ORDINARY PEOPLE.

For the real value of the United States liesin its ordinary families the men women and chil-

dren that form the vast majority of its people.

They are often not the flag wavers, or theegg throwers, but they live their lives in the sin-cere service of others and while they are oftensilent, they are indeed, the true standard of theAmerican nation.

In short they are quite wonderful people.

If you know such a person please do for-ward this on to them. And please send theirdetails to us and let us know exactly why they arewonderful and why you appreciate them. Inreturn we will be sending each and every one ofthem a prize direct from Camelot Castle, England.

We think it’s important to validate and acknowl-edge those people.

And, we think it’s our duty to do so.

True Americans who have kept and keep theRight to Dream alive.

Please visit us soon and do say hello atwww.camelotcastle.com

MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA!

A SUPERYACHT, previously owned byAbramovich which now belongs toRussian Billionaire Eugene Shvidlerwas moored discreetly in the bay belowCamelot Castle this month.

As light broke over Camelot onemorning on the sunlit cliff top.... belowCamelot Castle in the bay "LE GRANDBLEU" rocked gently in the Atlanticbreeze.

But WHY was she there?......rumourimmediately circulated in the local vil-

lage that......a certain creative conceptand painting that TED STOURTON hasbeen working on for over two and a halfyears is very nearly finished..... indeed,the excitement among those who collectthe finest art in the world, most ofwhom are Ted’s friends, is nearly reach-ing boiling point.

And as our friends know Mr.Shvidler would not be the first person tobe drawn by the possibility of seeing theLIGHT BOX and to the extraordinarytruth and power that emanates from

Ted's studio.

Encrusted with precious stonesand communicating a spectacularspiritual concept ........Ted has beenable to create.........well.........manyare hoping to catch a glimpse.

Mr. Stourton could not be drawnto comment on the matter.

"It's probably enjoying theSunshine" he said as he returned to hisstudio and the magical realm of the"LIGHT BOX"

There is no doubt that CamelotCastle has become the intellectual andharmonious gathering point of thosemen of reason and science who wish toadvance their fortunes and the fortunesof the human race to higher and higherlevels.

“It's probably enjoyingthe Sunshine ” Ted Stourton


IN ORDER FOR THE CHARACTER OF AHUMAN BEING TO REVEAL TRULY EXCEP-TIONAL QUALITIES, WE MUST HAVE THEGOOD FORTUNE TO OBSERVE ITS ACTIONOVER A LONG PERIOD OF YEARS. IF THISACTION IS DEVOID OF ALL SELFISHNESS, IFTHE IDEA THAT DIRECTS IT IS ONE OFUNQUALIFIED GENEROSITY, IF IT ISABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT IT HAS NOTSOUGHT RECOMPENSE ANYWHERE, AND IFMOREOVER IT HAS LEFT VISIBLE MARKS ONTHE WORLD, THEN WE ARE UNQUESTION-ABLY DEALING WITH AN UNFORGETTABLECHARACTER.

About forty years ago I went on a long hike,through hills absolutely unknown totourists, in that very old region where theAlps penetrate into Provence.

This region is bounded to the south-eastand south by the middle course of theDurance, between Sisteron and Mirabeau; tothe north by the upper course of the Drôme,from its source down to Die; to the west bythe plains of Comtat Venaissin and the out-skirts of Mont Ventoux. It includes all thenorthern part of the Département of Basses-Alpes, the south of Drôme and a littleenclave of Vaucluse.

At the time I undertook my long walkthrough this deserted region, it consisted of

barren and monotonous lands, at about 1200to 1300 meters above sea level. Nothinggrew there except wild lavender.

I was crossing this country at its widestpart, and after walking for three days, Ifound myself in the most complete desola-tion. I was camped next to the skeleton of anabandoned village. I had used the last of mywater the day before and I needed to findmore. Even though they were in ruins, thesehouses all huddled together and looking likean old wasps' nest made me think that theremust at one time have been a spring or awell there. There was indeed a spring, but itwas dry. The five or six roofless houses, rav-aged by sun and wind, and the small chapelwith its tumble-down belfry, were arrayedlike the houses and chapels of living vil-lages, but all life had disappeared.

It was a beautiful June day with plentyof sun, but on these shelterless lands, highup in the sky, the wind whistled with anunendurable brutality. Its growling in thecarcasses of the houses was like that of awild beast disturbed during its meal.

I had to move my camp. After five hoursof walking, I still hadn't found water, andnothing gave me hope of finding any.Everywhere there was the same dryness, thesame stiff, woody plants. I thought I saw in

the distance a small black silhouette. On achance I headed towards it. It was a shep-herd. Thirty lambs or so were resting nearhim on the scorching ground.

He gave me a drink from his gourd and alittle later he led me to his shepherd's cot-tage, tucked down in an undulation of theplateau. He drew his water - excellent - froma natural hole, very deep, above which hehad installed a rudimentary windlass.

This man spoke little. This is commonamong those who live alone, but he seemedsure of himself, and confident in this assur-ance, which seemed remarkable in this landshorn of everything. He lived not in a cabinbut in a real house of stone, from the looksof which it was clear that his own labor hadrestored the ruins he had found on hisarrival. His roof was solid and water-tight.The wind struck against the roof tiles withthe sound of the sea crashing on the beach.

His household was in order, his disheswashed, his floor swept, his rifle greased; hissoup boiled over the fire; I noticed then thathe was also freshly shaven, that all his but-tons were solidly sewn, and that his clotheswere mended with such care as to make thepatches invisible.

He shared his soup with me, and whenafterwards I offered him my tobacco pouch,

he told me that he didn't smoke. His dog, assilent as he, was friendly without beingfawning.

It had been agreed immediately that Iwould pass the night there, the closest vil-lage being still more than a day and a halffarther on. Furthermore, I understood per-fectly well the character of the rare villagesof that region. There are four or five of themdispersed far from one another on the flanksof the hills, in groves of white oaks at thevery ends of roads passable by carriage.They are inhabited by woodcutters whomake charcoal. They are places where theliving is poor. The families, pressed togetherin close quarters by a climate that is exceed-ingly harsh, in summer as well as in winter,struggle ever more selfishly against eachother. Irrational contention grows beyond allbounds, fueled by a continuous struggle toescape from that place. The men carry theircharcoal to the cities in their trucks, andthen return. The most solid qualities crackunder this perpetual Scottish shower. Thewomen stir up bitterness. There is competi-tion over everything, from the sale of char-coal to the benches at church. The virtuesfight amongst themselves, the vices fightamongst themselves, and there is a ceaselessgeneral combat between the vices and thevirtues. On top of all that, the equally cease-less wind irritates the nerves. There are epi-

demics of suicides and numerous cases ofinsanity, almost always murderous.

The shepherd, who did not smoke, tookout a bag and poured a pile of acorns outonto the table. He began to examine themone after another with a great deal of atten-tion, separating the good ones from the bad.I smoked my pipe. I offered to help him, buthe told me it was his own business. Indeed,seeing the care that he devoted to this job, Idid not insist. This was our whole conversa-tion. When he had in the good pile a fairnumber of acorns, he counted them out intopackets of ten. In doing this he eliminatedsome more of the acorns, discarding thesmaller ones and those that that showedeven the slightest crack, for he examinedthem very closely. When he had before himone hundred perfect acorns he stopped, andwe went to bed.

The company of this man broughtme a feeling of peace. I asked him thenext morning if I might stay and rest thewhole day with him. He found that per-fectly natural. Or more exactly, he gaveme the impression that nothing coulddisturb him. This rest was not absolute-ly necessary to me, but I was intriguedand I wanted to find out more about thisman. He let out his flock and took themto the pasture. Before leaving, hesoaked in a bucket of water the littlesack containing the acorns that he hadso carefully chosen and counted.

I noted that he carried as a sort ofwalking stick an iron rod as thick as histhumb and about one and a half meterslong. I set off like someone out for astroll, following a route parallel to his.His sheep pasture lay at the bottom of asmall valley. He left his flock in thecharge of his dog and climbed uptowards the spot where I was standing.I was afraid that he was coming toreproach me for my indiscretion, butnot at all : It was his own route and heinvited me to come along with him if Ihad nothing better to do. He continuedon another two hundred meters up thehill.

Having arrived at the place he hadbeen heading for, he begin to pound his ironrod into the ground. This made a hole inwhich he placed an acorn, whereupon hecovered over the hole again. He was plantingoak trees. I asked him if the land belonged tohim. He answered no. Did he know whoseland it was? He did not know. He supposedthat it was communal land, or perhaps itbelonged to someone who did not care aboutit. He himself did not care to know who theowners were. In this way he planted his onehundred acorns with great care.

After the noon meal, he began once moreto pick over his acorns. I must have putenough insistence into my questions,because he answered them. For three yearsnow he had been planting trees in this soli-tary way. He had planted one hundred thou-sand. Of these one hundred thousand, twen-ty thousand had come up. He counted onlosing another half of them to rodents and toeverything else that is unpredictable in thedesigns of Providence. That left ten thousandoaks that would grow in this place where

before there was nothing.

It was at this moment that I began towonder about his age. He was clearly morethan fifty. Fifty-five, he told me. His namewas Elzéard Bouffier. He had owned a farmin the plains, where he lived most of his life.He had lost his only son, and then his wife.He had retired into this solitude, where hetook pleasure in living slowly, with his flockof sheep and his dog. He had concluded thatthis country was dying for lack of trees. Headded that, having nothing more importantto do, he had resolved to remedy the situa-tion.

Leading as I did at the time a solitary life,despite my youth, I knew how to treat thesouls of solitary people with delicacy. Still, Imade a mistake. It was precisely my youththat forced me to imagine the future in myown terms, including a certain search for

happiness. I told him that in thirty yearsthese ten thousand trees would be magnifi-cent. He replied very simply that, if God gavehim life, in thirty years he would have plant-ed so many other trees that these ten thou-sand would be like a drop of water in theocean.

He had also begun to study the propaga-tion of beeches. and he had near his house anursery filled with seedlings grown frombeechnuts. His little wards, which he hadprotected from his sheep by a screen fence,were growing beautifully. He was also con-sidering birches for the valley bottomswhere, he told me, moisture lay slumberingjust a few meters beneath the surface of thesoil.

We parted the next day.

The next year the war of 14 came, inwhich I was engaged for five years. Aninfantryman could hardly think about trees.To tell the truth, the whole business hadn't

made a very deep impression on me; I tookit to be a hobby, like a stamp collection, andforgot about it.

With the war behind me, I found myselfwith a small demobilization bonus and agreat desire to breathe a little pure air.Without any preconceived notion beyondthat, I struck out again along the trailthrough that deserted country.

The land had not changed. Nonetheless,beyond that dead village I perceived in thedistance a sort of gray fog that covered thehills like a carpet. Ever since the day beforeI had been thinking about the shepherd whoplanted trees. « Ten thousand oaks, I hadsaid to myself, must really take up a lot ofspace.»

I had seen too many people die dur-ing those five years not to be able to

imagine easily the death of ElzéardBouffier, especially since when a man istwenty he thinks of a man of fifty as anold codger for whom nothing remainsbut to die. He was not dead. In fact, hewas very spry. He had changed his job.He only had four sheep now, but tomake up for this he had about a hun-dred beehives. He had gotten rid of thesheep because they threatened his cropof trees. He told me (as indeed I couldsee for myself) that the war had not dis-turbed him at all. He had continuedimperturbably with his planting.

The oaks of 1910 were now ten years oldand were taller than me and than him. Thespectacle was impressive. I was literallyspeechless and, as he didn't speak himself,we passed the whole day in silence, walkingthrough his forest. It was in three sections,eleven kilometers long overall and, at itswidest point, three kilometers wide. When Iconsidered that this had all sprung from thehands and from the soul of this one man -

without technical aids - , it struck me thatmen could be as effective as God in domainsother than destruction.

He had followed his idea, and the beech-es that reached up to my shoulders andextending as far as the eye could see borewitness to it. The oaks were now good andthick, and had passed the age where theywere at the mercy of rodents; as for thedesigns of Providence, to destroy the workthat had been created would henceforthrequire a cyclone. He showed me admirablestands of birches that dated from five yearsago, that is to say from 1915, when I hadbeen fighting at Verdun. He had plantedthem in the valley bottoms where he hadsuspected, correctly, that there was waterclose to the surface. They were as tender asyoung girls, and very determined.

This creation had the air, moreover, ofworking by a chain reaction. He hadnot troubled about it; he went on obsti-nately with his simple task. But, ingoing back down to the village, I sawwater running in streams that, withinliving memory, had always been dry. Itwas the most striking revival that hehad shown me. These streams hadborne water before, in ancient days.Certain of the sad villages that I spokeof at the beginning of my account hadbeen built on the sites of ancient Gallo-Roman villages, of which there stillremained traces; archeologists diggingthere had found fishhooks in placeswhere in more recent times cisternswere required in order to have a littlewater.

The wind had also been at work,dispersing certain seeds. As the waterreappeared, so too did willows, osiers,meadows, gardens, flowers, and a cer-tain reason to live.

But the transformation had takenplace so slowly that it had been takenfor granted, without provoking sur-prise. The hunters who climbed thehills in search of hares or wild boarshad noticed the spreading of the littletrees, but they set it down to the natu-ral spitefulness of the earth. That is

why no one had touched the work of thisman. If they had suspected him, they wouldhave tried to thwart him. But he never cameunder suspicion : Who among the villagersor the administrators would ever have sus-pected that anyone could show such obsti-nacy in carrying out this magnificent act ofgenerosity?

Beginning in 1920 I never let more thana year go by without paying a visit toElzéard Bouffier. I never saw him waver ordoubt, though God alone can tell whenGod's own hand is in a thing! I have saidnothing of his disappointments, but you caneasily imagine that, for such an accomplish-ment, it was necessary to conquer adversity;that, to assure the victory of such a passion,it was necessary to fight against despair. Oneyear he had planted ten thousand maples.They all died. The next year,he gave up onmaples and went back to beeches, which dideven better than the oaks.

To get a true idea of this exceptional char-

JEAN GIONO

THE MAN WHO PLANTED TREESTranslation from french by Peter Doyle


acter, one must not forgetthat he worked in totalsolitude; so total that,toward the end of his life,he lost the habit of talk-ing. Or maybe he just did-n't see the need for it.

In 1933 he received thevisit of an astonished forestranger. This functionaryordered him to cease build-ing fires outdoors, for fearof endangering this naturalforest. It was the first time,this naive man told him,that a forest had beenobserved to grow up entire-ly on its own. At the time ofthis incident, he was think-ing of planting beeches at aspot twelve kilometersfrom his house. To avoidthe coming and going -because at the time he wasseventy-five years old - heplanned to build a cabin ofstone out where he wasdoing his planting. This hedid the next year.

In 1935, a veritableadministrative delegationwent to examine this «natural forest ». Therewas an important person-age from Waters andForests, a deputy, andsome technicians. Manyuseless words were spo-ken. It was decided to dosomething, but luckilynothing was done, exceptfor one truly useful thing: placing the forest underthe protection of the State and forbiddinganyone from coming there to make charcoal.For it was impossible not to be taken withthe beauty of these young trees in fullhealth. And the forest exercised its seductivepowers even on the deputy himself.

I had a friend among the chief foresterswho were with the delegation. I explainedthe mystery to him. One day the next week,we went off together to look for ElzéardBouffier, We found him hard at work, twen-ty kilometers away from the place where theinspection had taken place.

This chief forester was not my friend fornothing. He understood the value of things.He knew how to remain silent. I offered upsome eggs I had brought with me as a gift.We split our snack three ways, and thenpassed several hours in mute contemplationof the landscape.

The hillside whence we had come wascovered with trees six or seven meters high.I remembered the look of the place in 1913 :a desert... The peaceful and steady labor, thevibrant highland air, his frugality, and aboveall, the serenity of his soul had given the oldman a kind of solemn good health. He wasan athlete of God. I asked myself how manyhectares he had yet to cover with trees.

Before leaving, my friend made a simplesuggestion concerning certain species oftrees to which the terrain seemed to be par-ticularly well suited. He was not insistent. «For the very good reason, » he told me after-wards, « that this fellow knows a lot moreabout this sort of thing than I do. » Afteranother hour of walking, this thought hav-ing travelled along with him, he added : « Heknows a lot more about this sort of thingthan anybody - and he has found a jolly

good way of being happy! »

It was thanks to the efforts of this chiefforester that the forest was protected, andwith it, the happiness of this man. He desig-nated three forest rangers for their protec-tion, and terrorized them to such an extentthat they remained indifferent to any jugs ofwine that the woodcutters might offer asbribes.

The forest did not run any grave risksexcept during the war of 1939. Then auto-mobiles were being run on wood alcohol,and there was never enough wood. Theybegan to cut some of the stands of the oaksof 1910, but the trees stood so far from anyuseful road that the enterprise turned out tobe bad from a financial point of view, andwas soon abandoned. The shepherd neverknew anything about it. He was thirty kilo-meters away, peacefully continuing his task,as untroubled by the war of 39 as he hadbeen of the war of 14.

I saw Elzéard Bouffier for the last time inJune of 1945. He was then eighty-sevenyears old. I had once more set off along mytrail through the wilderness, only to findthat now, in spite of the shambles in whichthe war had left the whole country, therewas a motor coach running between the val-ley of the Durance and the mountain. I setdown to this relatively rapid means of trans-portation the fact that I no longer recognizedthe landmarks I knew from my earlier visits.It also seemed that the route was taking methrough entirely new places. I had to ask thename of a village to be sure that I was indeedpassing through that same region, once soruined and desolate. The coach set me downat Vergons. In 1913, this hamlet of ten ortwelve houses had had three inhabitants.They were savages, hating each other, and

earning their living by trapping : Physicallyand morally, they resembled prehistoricmen. The nettles devoured the abandonedhouses that surrounded them. Their liveswere without hope, it was only a matter ofwaiting for death to come: a situation thathardly predisposes one to virtue.

All that had changed, even to the airitself. In place of the dry, brutal gusts thathad greeted me long ago, a gentle breezewhispered to me, bearing sweet odors. Asound like that of running water came fromthe heights above : It was the sound of thewind in the trees. And most astonishing ofall, I heard the sound of real water runninginto a pool. I saw that they had built a foun-tain, that it was full of water, and whattouched me most, that next to it they hadplanted a lime-tree that must be at least fouryears old, already grown thick, an incon-testable symbol of resurrection.

Furthermore, Vergons showed the signsof labors for which hope is a requirement :Hope must therefore have returned. Theyhad cleared out the ruins, knocked down thebroken walls, and rebuilt five houses. Thehamlet now counted twenty-eight inhabi-tants, including four young families. Thenew houses, freshly plastered, were sur-rounded by gardens that bore, mixed in witheach other but still carefully laid out, veg-etables and flowers, cabbages and rosebush-es, leeks and gueules-de-loup, celery andanemones. It was now a place where anyonewould be glad to live.

From there I continued on foot. The warfrom which we had just barely emerged hadnot permitted life to vanish completely, andnow Lazarus was out of his tomb. On thelower flanks of the mountain, I saw smallfields of barley and rye; in the bottoms of the

narrow valleys, meadowlands were justturning green.

It has taken only the eight years that nowseparate us from that time for the wholecountry around there to blossom with splen-dor and ease. On the site of the ruins I hadseen in 1913 there are now well-kept farms,the sign of a happy and comfortable life. Theold springs, fed by rain and snow now thatare now retained by the forests, have onceagain begun to flow. The brooks have beenchannelled. Beside each farm, amid grovesof maples, the pools of fountains are bor-dered by carpets of fresh mint. Little by little,the villages have been rebuilt. Yuppies havecome from the plains, where land is expen-sive, bringing with them youth, movement,and a spirit of adventure. Walking along theroads you will meet men and women in fullhealth, and boys and girls who know how tolaugh, and who have regained the taste forthe traditional rustic festivals. Counting boththe previous inhabitants of the area, nowunrecognizable from living in plenty, andthe new arrivals, more than ten thousandpersons owe their happiness to ElzéardBouffier.

When I consider that a single man, rely-ing only on his own simple physical andmoral resources, was able to transform adesert into this land of Canaan, I am con-vinced that despite everything, the humancondition is truly admirable. But when I takeinto account the constancy, the greatness ofsoul, and the selfless dedication that wasneeded to bring about this transformation, Iam filled with an immense respect for thisold, uncultured peasant who knew how tobring about a work worthy of God.

Elzéard Bouffier died peacefully in 1947at the hospice in Banon. www.drugfreeworld.org

LET’S FOCUS ON THE REALY GOOD PEOPLE IN LIFE!DOESN’T ONE GOOD TURN DESERVE ANOTHER?


IN THE LAST THREE YEARS CamelotCastle in Cornwall has become one ofthe most sought after holiday destina-tions in Britain. Located where LordAlfred Tennyson wrote “Idylls of theKing”, where Elgar composed his sec-ond symphony and Turner painted,Camelot Castle looks out over themajestic Tintagel island and theAtlantic. It commands a view that hasbeen known to inspire heathens toprayer.

The hotel has always been afavourite of artists and the guest bookreads like a who’s who of the creativeminds of the last century.

Theories as to why this is the caseand why artists have felt compelled tovisit this location are as diverse andinteresting as the mythology that sur-rounds the Castle itself. What is not indoubt is the extraordinary benefit andinspiration that artists have experi-enced as a result of arriving there.

Today any artist who feels that theircreativity or inspiration would benefitfrom staying at Camelot Castle is eligi-ble to apply for their Artist in ResidenceProgram. Indeed, in the last fourteenmonths Camelot Castle has activatedand helped over three hundred and fiftyartists from around the world who havebenefited from this program.

The program, run at the discretion ofthe owners of Camelot, John and IrinaMappin and Ted Stourton, is one of themost exciting, fresh and innovative ideasto influence the creative community for

many years.

“The whole purpose of the artist inresidence program is to validate andhelp artists in any way possible.Creating a space for artists that is freefrom any evaluation or invalidation hasbeen the first step. Artists, which wedefine as anyone interested in creatinga high quality of communication in anymedia or form are immensely valuableto the culture and should be lookedafter and helped at every opportunity.”

“Art and creativi-ty has in the pastbecome exclusive anda pursuit of privilege.It is interesting thatthe root of “exclusive”is to exclude. Actuallyart can be completelyinclusive and avail-able to all people. Artis food for the spirit ofall people.” For thatreason instead ofturning CamelotCastle into an exclu-sive hotel for the rich,Mappins andStourton haveensured that prices stay extremely com-petitive and it is possible to stay atCamelot for £39 pounds per nightwhich is no more expensive than alocal bed and breakfast.

“There is also a technical reasonthat it is vital to help art and artists inthe society to flourish: The wavelengthof aesthetics and beauty happens to be

that wavelength that most closelyapproximates the human spirit innative state. Many people have experi-enced what happens to them when theyencounter beauty, be it in a visual,musical or purely conceptual form.Aesthetics have the ability to raise andhelp the spirit and in fact act as a dis-integrator wave causing less desirableelements in life to vanish. There is adirect symbiotic relationship betweenthe artists in the society and the societyitself. Our very survival is in fact direct-ly linked to the amount of beauty being

produced at any onetime across ourworld.”

“Our artistsare those beings thathave the extraordi-nary responsibility ofensuring that beautycontinues to be creat-ed across the world.Actually it is atremendous responsi-bility and is notalways easy in aworld that appears attimes to negate theefforts of the artist or

their products.”

“Our artists are the true architectsof the future.”

“To be an artist in the current envi-ronment takes an extraordinaryamount of courage and integrity. Wehave found that when artists come toCamelot as “Artists in Residence” they

get a boost of inspiration and connectup to a source of help and encourage-ment that is not always present in theirlives.”

“Some of the most enjoyable suc-cesses that we have had is with kidsfrom the inner city schools who comehere and experience Camelot and theextraordinary natural beauty here forthe first time. You can see a light go oninside of them and you just know thatnothing will or can ever extinguish it.” “It is very easy to take the creativity ofartists for granted. Our own view is thatany effort in the direction of helpingartists is repaid one thousand timesover so we continue to help and wel-come artists to stay as part of the Artistsin Residence Program as often as wecan.”

“Camelot is the first in a chain ofHotels that we have planned inMythological locations around theworld. Each of those hotels will welcomeartists in the same way and will contin-ue the tradition of helping artists thathas successfully begun at Camelot.”

Who qualifies as an artist for theprogram? On this John, Irina and Tedagree: “As soon as someone says theyare an artist, why, then they are one.The decision to create is probably one ofthe most powerful decisions that a beingever makes and by validating that deci-sion and giving it a window of space tobe nurtured it is extraordinary what canoccur.”

PLEASE HELP US OUT WITHTHIS CREATIVE PROJECT:

The Camelot Castle Hotel at Tintagelhas been transformed and the momentyou enter this magnificent buildingyou can feel Camelot's influence. TheHotel itself is a stunning building inits own right, but the transformationwithin lies at the heart of this uniquelocation. John and Irina Mappintogether with Ted Stourton, havepulled out all the stops to provideguests with an experience that youwill definitely remember.

When we chose to dine at Irina'sRestaurant, it was a still and balmy,early June evening. The sky wasablaze with a fiery sun that was slow-ly setting over the Ocean, a plus, asthe dining room itself is a magnificentspace with stunning views of KingArthur's Castle and the NorthCornwall coast from every window.

On entering the dining room, mycompanion and I were greeted and

seated by attentive and courteous staffwho were always on hand but notobtrusive. The high ceilings, chande-liers, comfortable chairs and aEuropean flavour to the decor, makethe space elegant but homely.

The food was very well presentedand very good value for money, infact the prices, which start from£21.95, do not reflect the sumptuous-ness of the food or the surroundings.I can highly recommend theSwordfish, cooked to perfection andvery filling. The head chef hails frominternational hotels of Dubai. He andhis 5 star team of chefs bring aMediterranean feel and flavour tofamiliar food that is both fresh andexciting.

My prediction is that Irina'sRestaurant at Camelot Castle maysoon be the number 1 destination forfood lovers.
