This is the fourth in the Mythologies Reforged series. The previous books are The Ballad of the Grey Prophet, dealing with Ireland; Vainamoin's Kalevala dealing with Finland; The Death of Arthur which includes both Arthurian and Norse retellings, and finally the GLOOSAPPO. Lost for nearly two hundred years and preserved only fragmentarily in a collection of legends gathered by Charles Leland, the ancient mythology of the Algonquins is a bedrock of vivid and powerful tales. Now Farrell has reforged them into a veritable Edda of New England, in which the greatest of the Native American mythologies can at last be glimpsed in something approaching its' original majesty. Called the GLOOSKAPPO because of its' focus upon the weird, faylike, magnificent being who dominates the haunted country around the White Mountains, it is arranged in a series of songs and poems, gathered into five cycles, and includes as well the first known poetry of the Gardun-Houldu from the Eldarendar series. It takes place within the context of the last three books of the ARHELED series, World's End, being in fact the mysterious book kept by Larry Fay in the old church in Vermont.
