Thomas Burnett Swann was a brilliant fantasy article writer who passed on in 1976. He had written primarily about the ancient Greek and Roman world, mixing myth with romance and excursion. A reviewer in the Village Voice amounts his work up well: "Swann's neo-romantic fantasies of days gone by are unique. He uses the stuff of myth but with twists and innovations of his own." The Not-World: You might not have expected to find the last hideout of the ancient weird folk of star and prehistory in an British forest of two decades ago - and yet in that land which has always been haunted by the lore of little folk there had to be some truth behind such widespread belief. The magic pen of Thomas Burnett Swann, grasp of illusion and chronicler of the pre-humans, has stated in The Not-World one of is own finest - & most piquant - books. Here is the account of Dylan and Deirdre, of Thomas Chatterton - and of the balloon airfare that brought them into an older and much more enchanted land to mingle their fates with those of Arachne and the night time Mares in whom a growing commercial materialism could no longer believe.
