John Hughes advised readers to buckle up because they were about to enter the realm of fantasy and folklore. He explained that he had been advised that every biography should begin with the author’s accomplishments, but who would want to read about that unless they could secretly travel through time or fly spaceships? He draws a lot of my inspiration from English and Irish folklore, which often takes place in castles, bogs, forests, and mountains.

John Hughes has had the opportunity to travel to a number of these locations throughout his career, from the dark vaults of London’s crown jewels to the vast African jungles, learning about a variety of cultures and traditions and, most importantly, storytelling. He hopes you can join him on his mythical journey because there will be additional books.
