Duncton Wood (102 page)

All the ancient molespeak sections are correct AND original, no matter how much it looks like OCR scanning errors. The way songs and poems are offset is right from the book; I’m no poet, so there must be a reason for doing them that way.

Enjoy the book, they are among my favorites, and I hope there are many more people who can enjoy these now. I do not think they can be purchased online for ereaders yet. Mr. Horwood, or whomever, feel free to use and edit this scan if you decide to sell online. I plan on working on the rest of the series over the next few molemonths as time permits.
