À propos -- have just been reading Wikipedia on Hugh of Lincoln, which reminded me that Bert Lloyd's singing of it on that big Riverside 'The Child Ballads' issue all those years ago was produced by Kenneth Goldstein -- a Jew himself, as it points out. & Dorothy L Sayers' publisher was -- why, who but Victor Gollancz? Her father was rector of a village a few miles up the road from where I sit at this moment, BTW: Bluntisham, Cambridgeshire, formerly Huntingdonshire; and the flood village is the one in between, Aldreth. Why she had to pretend that The Nine Tailors happened in Lincolnshire I cannot imagine, when the terrain she describes so minutely I am looking at thru the window as I type this...
