Bardskull is the record of three journeys made by Martin Shaw, the
celebrated storyteller and interpreter of myth, in the year before
he turned fifty. It is unlike anything he has written before. This
is not a book about myth or narrative: rather, it is a sequence of
incantations, a series of battles. Each of the three journeys sees
Shaw walk alone into a Dartmoor forest and wait. What arrive are
stories - fragments of myth that he has carried within him for
decades: the deep history of Dartmoor itself; the lives of distant
family members; Arthurian legend; and tales from India, Persia,
Lapland, the Caucasus and Siberia. But these stories and their
tellers don't arrive as the bearers of solace or easy wisdom. As
with all quests, Shaw is entering a domain of traps and tests.
Bardskull can be read as a fable, as memoir, as auto-fiction or as
an attempt to undomesticate myth. It is a magnificent,
unclassifiable work of the imagination.
