The Little-Known Book of Peculiar Creatures

About the Book

R. Bryan-White came across his first peculiar creature one evening in November 1995.  Dozing in an armchair, he was roused by something settling on the top of his head.  Before he could react whatever it was had gone!  However, he shortly realized it must have been a Kumpf.  Since then the Gravesend in Kent born writer has discovered many more peculiar creatures.  At this point in time he is continuing with his research, and hopes to produce another peculiar volume in the near future.

About the Author

Born and raised in Gravesend, Kent by a socially inarticulate, cinema loving Mother and a compulsive gambler Father, Bryan-White began inhabiting a world of fantasy at a very early age – at one point becoming an avid collector of Marvel Comics.  A hobby which encouraged him to express himself creatively through the written word.

Leaving school with no academic qualifications, Bryan-White gained regular employment working for a major supermarket chain.  However, wanderlust eventually struck and he discarded such security to go and seek his fortune. 

Over the years he developed his textual prowess through the formats of lyrics, poetry, and short-stories, until during the mid-eighties he was motivated to become a voracious reader of literature after meeting the considerable well-read love-of-his-life and since that time constant muse, and mother of his four children. Becoming a father inspired him even more in the production of his written works – and in his own words, “Has made growing old not such a chore”. His fortune not yet having been found, Brian-White continues his quest – with one of his main ambitions these days being, “To have a truly original thought”.
