Haydn Middleton duikt in het ingewikkelde weefsel van Britse mythen en legenden. Zijn werken verkennen de diepten van geschiedenis en folklore, en leggen verborgen verhalen en symboliek bloot die de Britse identiteit hebben gevormd. Middleton's stijl is zowel verhelderend als suggestief, en trekt lezers mee in een wereld vol volkscultuur en historische resonantie. Zijn schrijven nodigt uit tot het verkennen van het fascinerende samenspel tussen het verleden en het heden.
