The Naughtiest Thing - now out as a Glastonbury Broadside Ballad
"Once upon a time in a place called Wheatley
(which means wheat field, and is well named)
there was a field of wheat -
I tell a lie, there were many..."
'The Naughtiest Thing' is the timeless tale of a vicar's daughter committing the ultimate transgression in a wheat field. You can read the tale in full on my Substack.
This fairytale poem has been published on a centuries-old letterpress as a limited edition broadside of 50 numbered copies, featuring a hand-coloured chaffinch - the namesake of the goblin in the tale. It was (and perhaps a few still are) available exclusively in Glastonbury bookshops.
'The Naughtiest Thing' is a work of fiction and any similarity to any former Prime Ministers or Home Secretaries living or dead is entirely coincidental.
