"These four fantasy-fiction books by American author Evangeline Walton (The Prince of Annwn, The Children of Llyr, The Song of Rhiannon and The Island of The Mighty) are based on traditional Welsh myths. Someone sent them to me back in 1978 because I’d written a song called Rhiannon 5 years earlier. Walton started her work around 1934 and finished in 1974, which was right around the time that I wrote Rhiannon, so I felt like when her work ended, mine began."

Terrifyingly ominous, separating facts from fiction

Journalist Matthew D'Ancona does the arduous task of showing how to fight the current stream of fake news spouted by our current institutions. He is explicit in saying that this isn't the beginning of a radical idea, but something that has been building for some time, offering methods to combat the phenomena. It is deeply troubling how facts are pushed aside and myths are upheld by loud-mouthed establishments despite ample evidence to the contrary. An important read for current times.
