about

For the whole of the inter-war period, my Grandfather travelled back and forth through the turmoil of the Balkans, Central Europe, and South Russia. On the eve of the Second World War, he returned with an impressive beard, a trunk of curious treasures and a never ending supply of tall tales.

Grandfather was an old man when I would spend the school holidays at his house. On occasion, he would tell me bed-time stories, recounting wild tales of his ‘adventuring’, of the peoples he met and their folk tales, of days lost in endless forests, of nights camped out on a sea of grasslands when the frost was so hard that his blanket twinkled in the moonlight as brightly as the myriad stars above. He told of feasting with mountain goat herders and with Orthodox Bishops, of shape-shifting shaman and of beautiful Princesses, of demons and of angels in human form. After a while, I would be lost, transported to the magical world of his descriptions. Grandfather would lower his voice, he would wander from the story into more philosophical byways and soon, soon, I would fall asleep.

Best listened to on your headphones way past your bed-time.
