{"product_id":"bardskull-by-martin-shaw-9781789651928","title":"Bardskull","description":"\u003cp\u003eBardskull is the record of three journeys made by Martin Shaw, the celebrated storyteller and interpreter of myth, in the year before he turned fifty. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is unlike anything he has written before. This is not a book about myth or narrative; rather, it is a sequence of incantations, a series of battles. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the three journeys sees Shaw walk alone into a Dartmoor forest and wait. What arrive are stories – fragments of myth that he has carried within him for decades: the deep history of Dartmoor itself; the lives of distant family members; Arthurian legend; and tales from India, Persia, Lapland, the Caucasus and Siberia. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut these stories and their tellers don't arrive as the bearers of solace or easy wisdom. As with all quests, Shaw is entering a domain of traps and tests. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBardskull can be read as a fable, as memoir, as auto-fiction or as an attempt to undomesticate myth. It is a magnificent, unclassifiable work of the imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57018333397365,"sku":"9781789651928","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/4075\/2426\/files\/9781789651928.jpg?v=1775064150","url":"https:\/\/sherlockandpages.com\/products\/bardskull-by-martin-shaw-9781789651928","provider":"Sherlock \u0026 Pages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
