Whiles all the night ...

Whiles all the night …

Whiles all the night, through fog-smoke white,
Glimmered the white Moon-shine.

Tired of the endless mist, Algy fell asleep in the tree, and dreamed …

The Adventures of Algy is an original work in mixed media by artist Jenny Chapman.

Algy, otherwise known as Algernon, was blown inland one dark and stormy night, on the back of a Hebridean gale. Weary of the effort and monotony of life on the wing, he decided to settle for a while in this remote corner of the wild West Highlands of Scotland, a land of wind and water in every form.

Provided with a comfortable rock or tree, he reflects upon life, the universe and the sea, recites poetry, rehearses operatic arias, and tells tall tales of strange adventures, past, present and future, some of which may actually have happened ... some of which perhaps may happen yet.
