    Take me back to thinking of Atlantis when I was a kid.

    I imagine Ian Gordon sitting in a library in a huge armchair, in front of a fire, smoking a pipe, in a country mansion with ghosts coming in and out of the walls as if it were nothing.

      He’s from Westhoughton.
      He’ll be more into rolling his own sitting against the shutters of Bargain Booze waiting for them to open.

    What is not to like about this story, it has Atlantis, The Sargasso Sea (a sea that has no shores,)which some claim is in 'The Bermuda Triangle.' A triple mystery! Thanks once again to all involved in recovering another long lost tale and it's presentation.

    I'm a little concerned. Is Warren still dead and are we fools and if he's not still dead are we fools for thinking he was dead? Now that I got that off my mind I love deep sea ones! I'd say they are my favorite but pretty sure I've also said that for frozen tundra ones and forest ones. But for real this time deep sea ones are my favorite, or my favorite of my favorites.
