First Fly, Last Fly

Storytellers and bards have always been with us from the mists of deepest antiquity to the present. Alistair Brooks is one of the more recent in this long line of literary artisans. In "First Fly Last Fly", his fourth book, he once again plies his spell binding, carefully crafted use of words. In both narrative and rhyme he describes more of those evocative epics and sagas the Muses have seen fit to weave into his very long, event-filled life. Highly personal as they are, his experiences in this latest book are portrayed in fascinating tales of the mystical and the mundane, as well as the magical, heroic, improbable, murderous, masterful, comic, curious, musical, meditative, and, yes, the miraculous too.
