The Two Yellow Crosses

About the Book

This is the story of Arsen Malet, a recanted Cathar heretic from Languedoc, who is sentenced to wear the despised two yellow crosses on his outer garments and to undertake the arduous pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela. As he journeys across northern Spain he meets a young widow, Grazide La Tourette. They soon fall hopelessly in love. After many tribulations and misunderstandings, they reach their destination where their love is finally resolved.

The book is illustrated with drawings by the author and a map of the Road to Santiago.
