The Moon And The Sea

Henry Arthur Thorpe

In The Moon and the Sea by Henry Arthur Thorpe, the author ‎draws inspiration from his roots in Somerset, where his love for ‎traditional folk tales and songs shines through in the collection ‎of poems, reimagined folk stories and mystery tales. Henry ‎weaves together a tapestry of poems that reflect his passion for ‎language and storytelling. They come from a deep love of ‎traditional stories from across the United Kingdom and beyond, ‎as well as classic science fiction, folk songs and the gothic. ‎Henry invites readers on a journey through enchanting verses ‎that explore themes of nature, mystery, and the timeless beauty ‎of the moon and the sea. Each poem is a reflection of Henry's ‎dedication to preserving the art of wordcraft and literature, ‎sparking discussions on etymology, Shakespearean characters, ‎and the enduring legacy of writers long gone.‎

This book is an invitation into a world; where the ghost of a ‎Valkyrie is able to hold court over a theatre, a Cornish Piskie ‎sings a story of chough birds, King Arthur and the wrath of the ‎sea and where the saviour of a plagued village is a young man ‎who listens to The Bees.‎

About Author

Henry Arthur Thorpe

Henry is originally from Somerset, with a particular ‎love of traditional folk tales, folk songs and the ‎unusual. Henry studied English at the University of ‎York and has been published in many collections and ‎tries to perform as often as possible. He has been seen ‎teaching literature in various locations, trying his best ‎to bring back the love of language and wordcraft that ‎seems lacking in this ever more technological society. ‎He has been known to get excited over etymology ‎over a pint of cider, or to have heated debates on the ‎motivations of Shakespeare characters or long dead ‎writers.‎
