description: Herne the hunter mischief-maker spirit of the forest leader of the wild hunt hurtles through the centuries pursued by his creator.A shapeshifter Herne dons many guises as he slips and ripples through time  at candlelit Twelfth Night revels at the spectacular burning of the Crystal Palace at an acid-laced Sixties party. Wherever he goes transgression debauch and enchantment always follow in his wake.But as the forest is increasingly encroached upon by urban sprawl and gentrification and the world slides into crisis Herne must find a way to survive  or exact his revenge.With its intoxicating chameleonic voice and boundless imagination Mischief Acts is British folklore as you've never read it before: dangerous sexy troubling daring savage an exhilarating race through time and space weaving together the ancient and the contemporary.
