Enchanted Isle: The Man On The Rocks by Tom Cox

The Man On The Rocks by Tom Cox

BBC Radio 4 - Enchanted Isle, The Man On The Rocks by Tom Cox

Louise meets an eccentric guy on Dartmoor who turns out to have quite a past.

Dave is sitting atop a Tor on Dartmoor when Louise comes across him one day. To say he's a strange character is an understatement.

Louise meets Dave when she's out walking on Dartmoor one day.  He asks her out for a drink and they begin dating. But the eccentric man whose mood can influence rivers is not quite of this world and the relationship soon becomes strained.

Tom Cox lives on Dartmoor. He is the author of several books including Help The Witch, Ring The Hill and 21st Century Yokel.  His next book is Villager.
