Tales from the Adanac House

Book excerpt: An anthology of poetry and prose by Ian D. Hall. Adanac A dream world, a land of mischief, of stories too numerous to entreat completely upon anyone. A place where an armchair becomes a throne and where a man becomes a King, staring out over the past, telling his young page the secrets he is too inherit, a young boy who found Adanac intoxicating and every once supposed every tall tale to be true. Tales from The Adanac House is a mixture of light and dark, an assortment of pictures that paint very personal and emotive journeys of a person who has experienced much, and has needed to throw the words out on page as only an artist can do. Poetry should leave you feeling a little exhausted, as if you have been on a journey and Ian D. Hall does exactly that. Janey Phillips
