The Wicked Cahoots of Bedford Park has its origins in an unfinished story written around the age of 21 about my childhood in the Bedford Park area of West London, which first saw the light of day in versified form in 2006 as Wicked Cahoots.
There Once Was a Long Vanished England originated partly in the early 2000s as some kind of unfinished short story which was subsequently versified, and partly as an earlier short story, begun when I was 21.
