TALES

Edmond Dantès grew up in Pebble Beach and Marin County, California. He started at the University of Miami for architecture, but switched to English in order to finish college more quickly and get on to a bohemeian life of songwriting and jamming. Strangely, in the process of running to escape from school, he found a deep enjoyment in reading, writing, and discussing texts, in particular fairy tales. Today he is a graduate student in the Univerisity of Oregon folklore program. He takes his pen name from The Count of Monte Cristo, which he considers the greatest novel ever written.
