Riassunto:

Niko's enthusiastic pursuit of folklore, myths, and all the things that help to make the Universe the amazing place that it is, melded with the evocative images of Andy Holyer, brings to life the legend and lore of Romney Marsh. Niko lives in Kent with his wife Rachel and sons Robert and Jonathan. His career has spanned from being a leading designer of microchips to being a purveyor of fish and chips. His hobbies include megalithic engineering (building full size stone circles), chainsaw carving, silversmithing and mushrooms. Andy was born in Lydd and, following a protracted sojourn in Yorkshire, returned to live in the town with partner Jenny and an unquenchable obsession with local history. His vibrant and colourful paintings cast a unique and uncompromising light on the history and culture of Romney Marsh. Together, Andy and Niko have produced a book that reflects the character of the Marsh itself - whimsical, provoking; a place of wide open skies and dark secrets; where light and colour can as soon give way to impenetrable mist and shade. What more likely guides to lead us on a journey through the mysteries and magic of the 'sixth continent'?
