Re: Account of CY's encounter with the Black Queen at Redmire

Post by Dave Burr »

I have been reading Rod Hutchinson's Carp Along The Way books of late and in one of them he recalls a sighting of either the king or queen (can't recall which). If ever there was proof of giants in Redmire back then ( and CY has always aired on the side of fanciful) I reckon I'd take RH's comments as gospel.

That's amazing. I've never seen that before.
Do you know who Mike is?
Yes, I believe it's Mike Oyez
Thanks.
I found what I was looking for - page 76 - 78 in Four Seasons thanks to the Oct 77 date in the scanned letter. :Hat:
Fantastic sleuthing! What a joy historic detection is.

I think it was Mike Winter, Nigel. Fairly sure they corresponded with each other quite a bit whilst Mike was writing his book.
