Forward hence the chicken

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Once thought a preposterous drunkard by friends and family alike, after an uneventful life in the church, he decided there must be more to his than that, so he started looking for another one. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond his control this led to him being accused of blasphemy by his superiors who in an fit of ecclesiastical embarrassment, forced him to retire and nothing more was said. That was until recently when reams of his writings were apparently discovered hidden in some dusty draw I wouldn't be at all surprised. And it is from these supposedly long-lost papers that this compendium has probably been compiled.
