Myths & Legends of our New Possessions & Protectorate

The anthology opens with a vivid portrait of wandering islands—massive rafts of earth and forest that drift across the Atlantic, supporting entire ecosystems, cities, and even mythic peoples. Listeners are introduced to tales of mer‑people singing from coral cliffs, birds whose feathers sound like flutes, and societies living in harmony beneath serene skies. These stories blend the familiar—references to the Azores, Canary Islands, and New England shoals—with the extraordinary, hinting at connections between old‑world myths and New‑World mysteries.

Among the legends is a retelling of the ancient sinking of Atlantis, described through the eyes of an Egyptian priest and linked to possible underwater mountain ranges. The collection also weaves in Arthurian wanderings, from Merlin’s voyages to the Joyous Island of Lancelot, and a youthful Irish hero’s quest to a far‑off Island of Youth where endless song fills the air. As the narratives unfold, the listener is invited to wander the edges of history and imagination, pondering how these floating realms might have shaped the folklore of distant cultures.
