About My Library

Archaeology (especially post-Roman Britain), fantasy (especially young adult fiction), science fiction (especially other worlds), medieval literature (especially Arthurian), folktales and popular science. I'm aiming to review all the books I eventually list, but it's a slow process; reviews appear here, on my review blog https://calmgrove.wordpress.com and on Goodreads: http://www.goodreads.com/edpendragon

About Me

Retired schoolteacher / piano teacher, living in Wales. Also musician, specialising in accompanying and adjudicating.

The map of countries visited is rather misleading: for instance, I spent most of my childhood in Hong Kong (before it reverted to China) and never set foot on the mainland; I have visited Seattle (twice) but nowhere else in the States; but it all looks rather impressive, doesn't it?
