In which we find out what happens when Madam Moon is absent from the sky, why you should always listen to a Wise-Woman and how any of this is relevant to a fruity tea-time snack.

A wonderful story from the wilds of the Carrlands of North Lincolnshire.  It's a little dark (literally) and the horrors and crawly creatures amongst the watery bogs and marshes make this the perfect story for when the nights are drawing in. Light a fire or pop a pretend one your television, get out the candles and be prepared to be just a touch scared in the best possible way.

Afterwards we discover a possible reason why this story is so surreal, how we treated malaria without quinine and what surprising crops are grown here.
