Paperback. 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. Lyrical verse and folklore from Roman Britain. A scholarly hog, a goddess-freeing farm-hand, ghosts who iron your sheets, and a mock-academic paper on Cheddar Cheese. Part of the five-volume Fabled Gable series. Entirely human-made. This item is printed on demand.

Ancient British Folklore Reimagined in Verse
Step into the world of the Fabled Gable, where Roman Britain's waning empire collides with myth, magic, and the timeless folklore of Britain. The Hollow Vale weaves lyrical poetry with Arthurian echoes, Cornish legends, and the sacred landscapes of Somerset and the West Country-spanning misty hills, sacred rivers, and ancient sites such as Stonehenge and Glastonbury Tor. Here, ancestral spirits stir, forgotten gods whisper, and old roads and standing stones become the stage for stories of memory, wonder, and enchantment.
This collection, part of a five-volume Fabled Gable series, explores the journey of Caelwyn, the Bellbearer, whose dreams awaken the Deep Wyrd, the primeval current of magic that binds the land. From ritualised verse and the imagined Tharionese language to seasonal tales and haunting myths, these poems trace the fragile threads between history and imagination, loss and remembrance. Wander mist-shrouded moors, hear the toll of invisible bells, and encounter legendary creatures in a Britain that is as magical as it is eternal.
