"He adapted a tune he had heard from a local musician as a child and combined this with lyrics, which were based on a legend he grew up with and one which was also later recounted to him in a Cornish pub - the story of The White Hare."

Oh, how sweet! And how romantic!

And then he put a bit of bread and cheese in a spotted handkerchief, tied it to a stick and set off to join the circus ... but was abducted by a wicked witch, who lived in a crooked house, in a haunted forest.
