The North Beyond

Author of mythopoeic fantasy 'The North Beyond'. Likes lore, legend, landscape, prehistory, philology, pies. Growing food & eating it. Very average trombonist!

'Best book I've read in 25 years.' 'A masterpiece.' 'Can't recommend it enough.' Just three great reactions out of many from readers of 'The North Beyond.'

@alas_not_me Delighted for you. Know exactly what you mean.

[The North Beyond @PMScrayfield]

@malcolmguite At last! Thought you'd given up, been pining away. And amazingly, I'd just re-read An Orkney Tapestry (the old pb, had it for years and dug it out to savour again). Keep them coming!

[The North Beyond @PMScrayfield]

@rina_gill I would say this, but...try my The North Beyond! Also The Magus Conspiracy by Michael Synnott.

[Malcolm Guite @malcolmguite]

I've just donated to the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal to help provide aid to people fleeing the conflict. Can you help? https://t.co/YvC5jH7UXk

[The North Beyond @PMScrayfield]

@alas_not_me Yes, not the same, agree. But, not dissimilar given entirely different authors/invented worlds etc.

[The North Beyond @PMScrayfield]

@alas_not_me Not dissimilar to the horcrux idea (see Harry Potter books) where handsome Tom Riddle gradually becomes repulsive Voldemort after secreting parts of his split soul in external objects & cannot survive their destruction?

[The North Beyond @PMScrayfield]

@charlieconnelly Tremendous book. Read it umpteen times, always has me helpless with laughter.

[The North Beyond @PMScrayfield]

@alas_not_me Oh yes! I can't bear being read to - never could even as a child. So intrusive! I'm definitely a 'reader by seeing'. It's so much quicker too!

[The North Beyond @PMScrayfield]

@malcolmguite At last! Been pining away for a new #spellinthelibrary. Good one too.

[The North Beyond @PMScrayfield]

'The Professor'! This is Abbot Ale - proper 1420 if ever a drink was. #TolkienBirthdayToast

[The North Beyond @PMScrayfield]

@alas_not_me Congratulations & all best wishes. Will you be changing 'alas not me' to 'wish me joy, my liege lord & healer'?

@BooktastersAuth The Green Man by Kingsley Amis. Not just brilliantly spine-chilling but very funny too.

[The North Beyond @PMScrayfield]

@RoRoHarby Have a good one Ro! And many of 'em.

[The North Beyond @PMScrayfield]

@phil_lunt Good luck Phil. Hope it goes well.

[The North Beyond @PMScrayfield]

@BooktastersAuth The North Beyond. Get it on Amazon, check out https://t.co/FXUcPTlTcq (esp the 5* reviews!)

[The North Beyond @PMScrayfield]

@malcolmguite Yes!! It's seemed a long wait but it's been worth it.

[The North Beyond @PMScrayfield]

@malcolmguite Hope the move goes well. Doesn't matter where the library is, the spells are a meeting of minds! Here's to the next one.

[The North Beyond @PMScrayfield]

@malcolmguite Loved this one! How about riffing next on what CS Lewis had to say on this topic in 'An Experiment in Criticism'?
