The Lyme Brook Mist by Anton Corvus
Anton Corvus combines elements of many of the great literary classic adventures (think Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland) with various dystopian classics (1984) then adds dozens of allusions to the works of classic writers (like Edgar Allan Poe, Edward Lear) to create a unique world of fantasy, mystery and mayhem in this spellbinding and frequently hilarious novel which follows the journey of an average teenage boy, Leo, through a mad world of weird characters and crazy situations. Part tribute to his own literary heroes, part guessing-game based on literature, Corvus hides his references to the classics in the names of both people and things – trying to guess what lies hidden in each page is almost as much fun as reading the story. The deducing of the story from the clues provided will also appeal to all lovers of the mystery genre – can you work out what has happened before the end?
Anton Corvus spent his entire career in the financial sector and travelled very widely. As he was away from home a lot, he wrote bedtime stories for his two sons to read to them, initially over the phone, and later via Skype. At fifty, he left the world of business behind to become a full-time author. He now lives in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire.
