INTRODUCTION
Cora returned some two years later, physically unchanged, with a book of illustrations
and a large collection of poems detailing her experiences in a magical land. She left
her written legacy behind, before vanishing once more.
So lower the lights, make yourself comfortable in a cosy armchair, or better still have
someone read to you as you drift into wistful dreams. But be careful not to sleep too
deeply, you just might wake up in the ‘Land of Grimney’ too…

In Dingle town
Near Grimney Moor
People live each day
The day before
As you would think
This causes confusion
Because Monday is Sunday
So it’s quite an intrusion.
Wednesday is Tuesday,
And so on and so forth,
The compass points southwards
When it should simply point north
The people walk backwards
Because they cannot walk straight,
And they always arrive early
But it is always too late.
Much of the time
People simply stand still
Their journey seems pointless
They don’t have the will…
??????????????????
‘To walk without knowing
The route you should take
Is enough to make going
Seem like a mistake’.
