Alexander Paul Burton is a storyteller, composer, and quiet mapmaker of memory. Born in Britain and shaped by the hills, marshes, and merry lanes of Cornwall and Somerset, he grew up not with myths, but among them. His earliest influences were not dragons or swords, but the forgotten names on mile-markers, the ghosts in railway timetables, and the way mist clings to stone like something remembering itself.Now based in Toronto, Alexander continues to write across fictitious history and imagination. His fiction and music explore the borderlands between place and presence, between what is lost and what remains. He draws inspiration from etymology, folklore, and the small, resonant silences between people. His background in nonprofit and public sector work has shaped a lifelong belief: that stories are vessels, for grief, for joy, for remembering differently.His writing is steeped in the language of echoes, vethir anneth, the unspoken truths that dwell in silence, and guided by the mantra of the Daughters of Avalon: ethra scripen vanna, what is written in resonance, echoes in the soul.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Ancient British Folklore Reimagined in VerseStep into the world of the Fabled Gable, where Roman Britain's waning empire collides with myth, magic, and the timeless folklore of the West Country. The Hollow Vale weaves lyrical poetry with Arthurian echoes, Cornish legends, and the sacred landscapes of Somerset, from Glastonbury Tor and Bodmin Moor to the fossil shores of Kilve and the standing stones of Stanton Drew.Meet the Wenderbeast, a scholarly hog who fled the burning library of Avalon with what scrolls he could carry. Follow Father Thorn, a farm-hand who walked to Bath with an axe to free a goddess from her Roman renaming. Hear Caradoc and Dunval sing the earth itself into a hill to swallow a Roman legion whole. Then settle into the whimsical bed-time poems: ghosts who iron your sheets, faeries whose lanterns are warm to look at and cold to touch, and a crooked man who tells your future but gets the directions wrong half the time.This collection, part of a five-volume Fabled Gable series, includes three full verse-cycles, seasonal poetry, a mock-academic paper on the mythological origins of Cheddar Cheese, a Tharionese language glossary, an expanded gazetteer, and a prose fable about quantum ethics told through competitive muffin-baking. Every word and illustration is human-made, verified by keystroke-level auditing, and deposited with national libraries.Poetry, myth, cheese, and a very opinionated hog. Welcome to Somerset.
