The Naughtiest Thing

How a vicar's daughter poisoned all the land

Some years ago, a prominent figure in the UK said a very strange thing.

What she said - and you might recall this - that the naughtiest thing she’d ever done was to run in a wheat field.

‘The Naughtiest Thing’ is the true story* of how this came to be.

My fairy tale poem was printed as a Broadside Ballad by The Loon Press on an old-school printing press (now owned by The Glastonbury Press), in a limited numbered edition of 52, each featuring a hand-coloured chaffinch.

*at least, as true as what she said.
