Longest Night heute. Endlich.

Und jedesmal muss ich dann an die geniale Buchreihe Duncton Wood denken.

Mary McCrossan's painting of Duncton Downs (1919) on the South Downs in Sussex is a technically sophisticated act of experimentation; it’s an arrangement in white that’s beautifully contrasted by the green of the grass and the blue of the sky.

A rainy September day can only mean revisiting the opening lines of a certain book: William Horwood's Duncton Wood.

Study for a landscape. I’ve realised I need to re-introduce canvas to my practice. I love this view - full of nature’s messy, beautiful plan

Two cats rest upon books on a bookshelf, each basking in the glow of sunlight through a window. One is gray/black and one is orange.

Duncton Wood is great too, it’s about moles and overcoming fascist rule

If you liked Watership Down, you will probably like Duncton Wood. I actually like Duncton Wood much more than Watership Down.

Book Review: Duncton Rising by William Horwood (The Book of Silence #2)
I can't believe I'm almost done with the Duncton books. Makes me sad, because I really enjoy those. Oh well, spoilers ahead.

Okay. You have unfortunately been hit with the curse that makes you adapt a work you liked as a kid into a ttrpg.

What thing are you adapting?

I feel like Duncton Wood and Secrets of the Gnomes also fall along these lines: Idyllic pastoral setting, cheerful talking animals and magical creatures, plotlines full of elder magic, mortality, and strange rituals as a treat.

My favourite book of 2025. Raymond Chandler meets CSI Duncton Wood- the most original and wonderfully naturalistic crime thriller I have read for some time...
