Matilda Who told Lies

An incorrigible liar finds that when she needs help the most no one will believe what she has to say.

Kellogg, Steven

Four men--Myself, Grizzlebeard, The Sailor, and The Poet--wander through the Sussex of 1902. Their comical adventures and perceptions celebrate the vanishing landscape of unspoilt rural England and a lifestyle soon to become obsolete. The four characters are all personifications of aspects of Belloc's own nature.
