About

Tony Harbourne

Tony Harbourne was born in the smog of Wandsworth, London, in 1947 and at the age of six moved to a new housing estate in Dartford, Kent. In those days, it was still rural countryside, and this was where he became fascinated by the abundance of wildlife to be found there and with a particular interest in insects.
During his formative years, he shared a flat in Highgate with his old school chum, Ian, and every Sunday they would race their small hand carved wooden sailing boats across the boating pond at Parliament Hill. The boats were always at the mercy of the strength and direction of the breeze, snagging floating pond weed and inquisitive ducks.
He began to think how many more races his boat could win if it was manned by a miniature crew, which, along with his interest in insects, sowed the seeds for the creation of the Known Lands and the Green Empire in which tiny folk embark on daring adventures and dangerous quests set in our sized world against a backdrop of the early medieval period.
He now lives in Southeast London.

  • Galadhin By Tony Harbourne

    Galadhin

    Galadhin was orphaned at the age of two, when his parents threw themselves though the highest window of the Gotherim Green Tower after no longer being able to live with their devastating guilt for having been forced to betray their closest friends, Bozadir and Egrelda, who afterwards adopted Galadhin and raised him as their own. Galadhin grew up surly and suspicions of his step-parents’ silence about the tragic incident, but when he came of age, the terrible truth was revealed and he set off on a dangerous oathbound quest to the Redskin land of Norg to track down the villain of the piece and take his dire revenge.
