This stand-out new novel explores the humorous history of musical influence in Lincolnshire.
Published on 26th March 2024, Witham ‘n’ Blues: It All Comes Out In The Wash delves into the life of Professor Otis K Spanner III, an American academic on a mission to discover England’s second largest county, Lincolnshire. The Professor of Comparative Anthropology, based for a year at the University of Lindum, seizes the opportunity to explore the undiscovered musical heritage.
