A glacial erratic deposited
in a ‘stony place’.

The ancients would have
venerated such a stone and may
well have adapted it for symbolic purposes.

The limestone ‘shelving’
of the Burren stretches
for mile upon mile.

And provides a perfect platform
for ancient boulder art.

Where do they come from?
They come out of the night…
Where do they go to?
Back to the night they return…
They dance in the dark to pipe and drum and fiddle
They dance in the dark with fire and brandished flame…
No-one knows who they are…

Mister Fox and the Demon Dogs

“I have seen them write in fire on the darkness…
and heard the drums beaten with flaming brands…”

Head on over to Barb Taub’s blog to read more about Mister Fox, Barb’s review and a little about how Stuart France and I got involved through the graphic novels.
