'''''The School in Carmarthen''' (Школа в Кармартене)'' is a [[Magic Realism]] novel by Russian linguist Anna Korosteleva released in 2006. In it, a [[Wizarding School]] exists in ~~rural~~ Wales, teaching its students Celtic history of the British Isles, magical poetry, alchemy, multiple languages of varying degrees of deadness including animal languages, and cultural knowledge from all around the world. The plot… isn't really there as a unified central line; instead, smaller parable-like arcs involving different sets of characters all coexist and intertwine into a cohesive whole. The book is filled to the brim with references to [[Celtic Mythology]] and lore, as well as nods to Chinese, Greek, Roman and Scandinavian cultures.
