I was out walking on farmland today with my wife and dog, when we stumbled across a little metal shack in the corner of a field. It reminded me instantly of the same shack that adorns the cover of Flamingo’s 2002 edition of Magnus Mills’ Three to See the King.
Sadly, aside from a family of weeds the shack was empty, so I’m guessing its occupant has gone off on the pilgrimage to track down Michael Hawkins
