About the author

Ben Aaronovitch's career started with a bang writing for Doctor Who, subsided in the middle and then, as is traditional, a third act resurgence with the bestselling Rivers of London series.

Born and raised in London he says that he'll leave his home when they prise his city out of his cold dead fingers.

Contained within Tales From the Folly collection.

[Victoria Nika · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fun, little entry in the series that’s enjoyable.

Oh, this one's fun. I do like it when urban fantasy turns up in unexpected places, and a small farm is, by virtue of being rural, one of those places. Nonetheless, here we are, and the obsessive type of farmer illustrated here is deeply entertaining. An infant river deity turns up in a field, hailed by prophetic foxes? Well, the boy needs a home, and think what he could do for the soil matrix!

It's like Country Calendar but with gods. There was an episode on a couple of weeks ago about raising baby vines for vineyards. I don't think Dionysus is turning up in rural New Zealand any time soon, but you never know.

In this story, which is part of Tales from the Folly, Victor and Dominic from Foxglove Summer become parents to the god of the River Lugg in Herefordshire.

I absolutely loved it! This is a must read series! I can’t wait for more tales!
