Keith Skipper's Confessions of a Norfolk Squit Merchant

Norfolk’s most valuable and durable commodity - wholesome squit - has kept Keith Skipper company for over six decades in his native county. "I believe I am a one-off... and I have the scars to prove it" he declares. Now, in this entertaining new book, he pays tribute to those who encouraged him along the way, the young Skipper, a country boy with a keen sense of humour and a proud feeling for a place all too often dismissed as " on the road to nowhere."

Confessions of a Norfolk Squit Merchant describes a colourful journey from village hall, horse powered harvest and wayside chapel to newspaper adventures, a BBC microphone and countless curtain calls in temples of rustic culture. Keith founded and led the Press Gang, a troupe of local entertainers, to spread the squit gospel for 25 years" at a time when dull uniformity threatened to take over." They became known as the greenest group in the business, ready to recycle any old rubbish .. Norfolk’s leading squit merchant comes clean in a compelling volume where king-sized characters abound.
