Puck of Pook's Hill #8

 My reading of the eighth chapter of "Puck of Pook's Hill" by Rudyard Kipling (1906). This time the children meet with an architect and hear tales of pirates (and yes, I did accidentally say Suffolk instead of Sussex at one point, but could not be bothered to record the whole thing all over again.)

There does not appear to be a musical version of "Hal o' the Draft" as heard at the beginning of the chapter, but there is a musical rendition of "A Smuggler's Song" which appears at the end. This is by Robin Jeffrey and Tim Laycock.

There's also some Christmas shopping, if you can bear the prospect at this time of year and are not sick to the back teeth of shopping.
