THE PROTAGONIST WHO DEFINES THE WORD ORDINARY, becomes embroiled in an old and grave story not of his wanting. With the likeness of the common man, his desire for love and acclaim may have misled him a step too far. As unimaginable dark forces escape, as authorities question his innocence and his beautiful but begrudging companion in his face, his odds of surviving are slim if not zero. To conquer one if not all will take more than just prayers. To do that, he may have to become the man he's never been: and face the unthinkable. A catastrophic confrontation is in the cards. The last word left Mitchell's pen on Halloween, a fitting day for his epic fantasy inspired by an ancient but barely remembered upstate NY superstition. A Canadian of English origin, Mitchell followed in his father's footfalls and put to paper his roaming imagination. Drawing inspiration from the archaic ruins and legends that were his playground as a youth, but mindful of the laws of science, he crafted his story not to trespass into the impossible, but to blur the line of reality and myth.

The turn of the 20th century was a time of great change in Britain. The empire saw its global influence waning and its traditional social structures challenged. There was a growing weariness of industrialism and a desire to rediscover tradition and the roots of English heritage. A new interest in English folk song and dance inspired art music, which many believed was seeing a renaissance after a period of stagnation since the 18th century. This book focuses on the lives of seven composers--Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst, Ernest Moeran, George Butterworth, Philip Heseltine (Peter Warlock), Gerald Finzi and Percy Grainger--whose work was influenced by folk songs and early music. Each chapter provides an historical background and tells the fascinating story of a musical life.
