'The Rain Heron'...

Loving the delicious world of 'The Rain Heron' by Robbie Arnott...'lightning licked trees; the wind grew fangs and chewed barns into splinters...' There is so much rich, landscape reality combined with an enigmatic narrative that seem to fringe on legend... So fascinating... pic.twitter.com/GOJ4ScvPiw

The 'Rain Heron'...

Not often I feel driven to read a book, based on a brief, online extract. But 'The Rain Heron' sounds like the birth of an exciting new world of literature. Publication 2nd June...hot off the press. https://t.co/xUIRkDTOKW

To think, a book only just published already has inspired street art. That's a higher endorsement than being a groupie. https://t.co/rA27fyTLJ8
