    About this ebook

    A truly unique author called Elizabeth Hand wrote the stunning novel Aestival Tide back in 1992. This inspired my own writing and is my favourite book. I based my poems upon Liz’s Gryphon aircraft from her novel and other flying machines. Her craft are her creation, I made them fly. Without Liz’s writing my poems and writing would not exist. This short project is my fan fiction in tribute to her breathtaking work. The aircraft and flying machines are designed by a lady named Aeroplane Girl. She is my own creation. Enjoy my book. Shall we fly?
