Though not a writer like @malcolmguite, Commissaire Maigret also enjoys taking up the pen and pipe together.

Today I listened to Stave 1 with the family as I read alongside the audio book! It is awesome to hear the author himself read his book to us! I’m already looking forward to book 2 coming out! Check out @malcolmguite YouTube channel. He’s awesome and wholesome to listen to, to put it quite frankly, we need more men like him.

Good news is they’ve arrived in the country and should ship sometime in the next week or two. Sooner than we expected!

Arthurian poetry night was utterly wonderful. Isn’t it lovely that you can just do things?

Just finished @malcolmguite's Galahad and the Grail.
Speechless. Exactly the poem we need right now.
If I loved it less, I could talk about it more. Utterly wonderful in everyway.

Yesterday evening, while mopping the kitchen, I wept. Not because the floor was particularly dirty -- though it was -- but because I was so moved by the close of the wonderfully sacramental and perilously beautiful Galahad and the Grail. Thank you @malcolmguite for this gift.

Hi Malcolm I'm resting from writing and messing about with these lovely oil pastels that were a gift from my friend before he died. It's fun even if you have much better art on your walls! As I hope you can see, it's taken from your website which is the most amazing photo.

I have the book and the audiobook. Looking forward to reading this while my family listens to @malcolmguite himself read the story! From my initial skimming of the pages I can honestly say this is one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever owned, this is a high quality book everyone should own.

“Perhaps there’s a deeper meaning to the legend that Arthur is not dead but only sleeps, waiting to be wakened at the hour of Britain’s greatest peril. It’s the task of poets and artists in every age to awaken him, to revive the old tales for a people in danger of forgetting. In this book, @malcolmguite leads the way.” @SketchesbyBoze

You called me and I came to Colmcille
To learn at last the meaning of my name
Though you yourself were called, and not the caller,
He called through you and when He called I came.

Summer read-aloud. Read aloud (by my husband) as a ballad should be. So brilliantly done. Thank you, @malcolmguite. I can just hear MacDonald and Tolkien and Lewis cheering from beyond the veil.

Here is a beautiful picture of @malcolmguite taken from his YouTube Short that was published back in March 2026.
Whomever the videographer who followed him along that day, has done a wonderful job capturing the moments in the most magnificent way.
