About this ebook
“I yearn to take some hollow lane, or lazy winding way.”
A fantasy travelogue, for all those who would gladly have never left the Shire.
It is spring, and a gentleman traveller bids farewell to slate grey city streets, and heads out into the countryside, there to explore a land filled with wonder.
Stories and adventures, encounters and observations, all are woven together in a tapestry that depicts a unique fantasy world, an enchanted isle that is neither bloodied by battle nor ravaged by war, and where a traveller is free to safely wander and wonder.
In the style of H.V. Morton, had he gone in search of England and found Tolkien’s Shire, or J.K. Jerome’s “Two Men in a Boat” if his river was populated by mermaids.
“Enchanted Isle” is a book for all those who enjoy exploring fantasy worlds, but have no love of battle and bloodshed.
