His models are the Scots bard Robbie Burns and the Essex singer-songwriter Adrian May, whom he calls his \"song-writing mentor\". He also pays homage to his American contemporary, Tom Waits, the Elizabethan song-writer, Thomas Campion, and the Victorian lyricist, W.S. Gilbert, whom he describes as \"an honorary Schwenk\".","brand":"Parthian Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47050251665648,"sku":"9781910409879","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781910409879_p0.jpg?v=1763627080","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781910409879","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
