Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a novel called the hallows which I have read but have not been able to find any other helpful information on this subject. They are also known as the thirteen treasures or the thirteen treasures of Britain.

Sounds interesting, 'though I've never heard of this myth and I live in England

The book is from an author called Michael Scott from memory, but i could be wrong. I have googled almost everything imaginable and have found only a few references and nothing else. Its very frustrating.

and it has nothing to do with harry potter

not sure if this will be of help, but here it is all the same

nevermind....lol let me look some more

try this, perhaps a bit more info

here is a book
Bartrum, P.C., The Thirteen Treasures of the Island of Britain, Etudes Celtiques vol 10, 1963

I guess whatever these Hallows are is where JK Rowling got the idea for the Hallows in Harry Potter.
