edit data

At the time of writing The Book Of Imaginari (it began in 2019), Richard lived in the village of Mow Cop where it is set. He would often visit the folly and look out over the surrounding areas - it is this that led him to the inspiration for Imaginari.

Part one - The Folly On The Hill - took around four months from concept to first draft, with parts two and three taking a similar amount of time afterwards, parts two (The Statue Of Mow) and three (The Guardians Of Imaginari) are also available.

The book was written for pleasure, creating it would fill his spare time and this opportunity was increased massively during the pandemic of 2020 - the goal being to create something that at least one person would find and enjoy reading it.
