Who’s Who in Grunty Fen

Description

Who’s Who in Grunty Fen is an invaluable guide to the lives of those hitherto hidden heroes of Grunty Fen compiled by Mr Christopher South.

Meet the men and women who made – amongst many other things – the universal shovel, the edible poultice and the gingerbread lavatory.

Be amazed at the visionaries from the worlds of architecture, medicine, politics, poetry, dance and ditch inspection.

Discover the hadnabinfer, why every week has eight days, how an angel may ride pillion on your bike and why the ladies of Bastardy had such huge, flat feet.

Get to know the entrepreneurs of industry, education, pharmacology and tie-knotting.

Learn a little Grunt, harness the power of a dog’s tail, gaze into the mysterious depths of a warm bucket and study the knitted parachute. Understand the importance of goat-hair in the history of philosophy.

Just remember to bring your boots. This is Grunty Fen, after all.

Oh, and avoid the green flux at all costs.

Lavishly illustrated with photographs, drawings, one technical diagram and a cartoon, this book has a place on every Fenatic’s bookshelf, right next to The Authorised Guide to Grunty Fen.

93 glorious pages plus appendices and an introduction by the author.
