His reconstructions of medieval battles from the fragmentary and distorted accounts left by chroniclers were pioneering.

I will not apologize for my love for it, nor for reading it twice in one year, nor of buying it on a whim for twenty bucks even though I probably should have waited for the paperback. ![]() Imagica barker5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Many of the ideas for those worlds came to Clive Barker in dreams.
