Lindum Lodge member Mick Lake is donating the entire proceeds from his fourth book to our 2025 Festival ambition to raise £2.25m – and so far that’s more than £1,200.
The book is a collection of ‘strange but true’ stories from Lincoln and the surrounding villages, and the latest person
Paul Crockett explores Mick Lake’s book.
to see the fruits of Mick’s labours is Paul Crockett, Head of Fundraising at the MCF. He met Mick on a visit to Lincolnshire to meet the committee co-ordinating the fundraising effort.
Mick p expected the book to raise at least £1,000 by the end of the Festival, but it’s already more than £1,200.
The book contains over 70 short stories, and closely follows the format of his first book, Lincoln – True Tales from History. The first book had a strong focus upon extraordinarily tragic events, and this book contains many stories of a similar nature.
However, the new book also has many tales which demonstrate the selfless courage shown by ordinary people whilst going about their daily business.
Says Mick: “The stories are all based in the City of Lincoln, or villages within the surrounding area, with the exception of a small number which describe the remarkable exploits of its citizens whilst travelling in other parts of the world. Every tale in the book is underpinned by meticulous research, and regardless of how bizarre it may seem, each story is completely true.
“The book makes an ideal gift for the ‘difficult-to-buy-for’ person, and I’m happy to provide a signed copy. Email me at saxilbystriker@yahoo.co.uk for further details.” The books are £8.99 and delivery is free within the Province of Lincolnshire. Discounts are available if you order more than one copy. The books are available on Amazon at this link as a paperback (£8.99) or Kindle E-book (£3.99).
