‘In Search of Lost Knowledge’ is William Grove’s autobiographical account of how a fracture of his skull gave him that extra ability to find answers to ancient mysteries.

No better explanation can come from anyone but Grove himself. He said: “I awoke wondering how I came to be lying upon a strange bed, on a Sunday-afternoon at that. With no recollection of the incident I was to learn that a speeding car had collided head-on with my bicycle which threw me over the handle-bars to bounce off the car, prior to hitting the road-surface.”

“My injuries were severe from my head to my ribs, my left-arm almost severed, left side of my face paralysed, a fracture to my skull above the left ear, my jaw dislocated, teeth and nose damaged. That I survived was a miracle they informed me, due in part, to a healthy, war-time diet, roadside attention from a Miss Morris, local mid-wife, and treatment at a cottage hospital almost four-miles distant.”

From then onward, Grove was to receive, always spontaneous in nature, what he understands to be ‘minor occurrences of precognition, examples of psychic awareness or, to use a phrase beloved of the psychiatric establishment, lateral thought.’

His deep interest in such riddles, commenced with the BBC’s 1970′s televised ‘Chronicle Series’ where public attention was directed upon yet one other mystery, the family secret rooted in the French village of Rennes le Château, with all being brought to light, in the co-authored ‘The Holy Blood’ and the ‘Holy Grail’ volume of early 1980′s years.

Grove said: “Upon occasion a scientist, brain free of any damage, is able, by similar means, to actually dream up the solution to a problem that has evaded him for far too-long.”
