Somewhere in a Woody Glen weaves an incredible route through a tapestry of linked stories as seen through the eyes of more than one narrator. James Bridges guides us through adventures experienced in his childhood and throughout his career as an engineer in the British Army. As the ahelmsmana, he temporarily hands over the steering of the book to his brother Jo, who provides incredible accounts of long-forgotten worlds as a seemingly totally inappropriate offering to his young daughter. Translated from the newly discovered journals of a 1900s swashbuckling adventurer, he remains adamant that it is true. At the conclusion, the links between the two accounts are brought together and presented as one factual work. Somewhere in a Woody Glen includes adventure, romance, mystery, and tragedy. Its memorable, larger-than-life-characters, events, and creatures appear on almost every page. From the sleepy English suburbs to the black lands of Fistard, from the sweet and vulnerable Katy to the mean and menacing Grimmly, this book has it all.
