The Sweet Track

The Sweet Track is a wild and ancient place, black ditches, winding paths, willow branches interlaced…

A story book idea based on a real area of ancient marshland on the Somerset Levels. Billy meets his neighbour Mavis Scrufferdump on a walk and she tells him a dark and mysterious tale about a girl that fell into a black rhyne (peat ditch) and never emerged again.

Willow branches come to life and entwine around feet and limbs that linger too long…
