This volume presents the only known words written by his hand—three letters written to his son Dooner Phalli—and 115 drawings of skulls. All are attributed to Barn Quivver, circa the 1480s, although currently there is no evidence that can confirm or deny their true origins.
To date, there is little historical evidence to support Barn Quivver's legend; three letters written to his son, a legal draft, and a few hundred drawings are the sum total so far.
Today, many people claim he was only partly human—that he was in fact one of the last of an ancient race of reclusive sarcophagics known as the Luchd-Ithe Bàis.
Allegedly, hundreds of drawings were made in idle moments during and between the wars that defined old Europe. He sketched and drew while waiting for combat to end—and his gruesome duties as a battlefield gleaner to begin.
This volume presents one hundred fifteen of the peculiar and controversial drawings.
