Subject: RE: The Foggy Dew[East Anglian Version]
Good Morning Michael, I am clearly not going to be able to convince you about the Bugaboo/Foggy Dew origin. So I am not going to spend any more time trying. But, as you clearly relish this sort of thing, what is your take on the line "Hell is full of mice" which occurs in one of the early folk carols (sorry, can't remember which one off the top of my head).

Steve. Have you read the Tashen book, "The Book of Symbols" by a team from the "Archive for Research in Archetypal Symbolism". It is a fascinating read and I find myself dipping in and out of it all the time.
