Notes

  • Completely and exclusively written by David Myers through his amanuensis Myron Byron who is spasmodically possessed by Dr Benjamin Blauenblum, Clarry Dreamboat Hoon and Dean Anthony St Clair
  • Dedication: For Barnaby, Holly, Toby, Rachel and Jutta
  • Author's note: Cornucopia County is mythical. It is born of the narrators' dissatisfaction with mere reality, whatever that is. To anyone who is foolish enough to try and identify with the chimerical creatures of Cornucopia County we say: Honi soit qui mal y pense.
