Ayant hérité d'un profond intérêt pour l'histoire, les légendes et la mythologie dès son plus jeune âge, l'auteur a développé une passion pour la « magie de la terre », les contes populaires et les récits élémentaires. Cette fascination pour l'héritage ancien a refait surface plus tard dans sa vie, le conduisant à expérimenter la fusion d'anciens contes populaires avec ses propres créations. Poussé par le besoin de préserver cet ancien héritage face à la marée de la culture industrielle et consumériste moderne, l'auteur cherche à maintenir vivantes ces traditions. Par le biais de visites guidées bénévoles et de conférences, il partage activement ses profondes connaissances et son enthousiasme pour ces thèmes intemporels.
