‘My name is Eel, Robert Eel. I am the new rotsap of Nibbleswicke. Dog help me!’
Reverend Lee is so worried about being in charge of his own parish for the first time that his childhood dyslexia comes back, in the form of a strange speech defect. Not realising he is doing it, key words start to come out of his mouth backwards. The parishioners are amused and later shocked at the garbled messages from the pulpit until finally a cure is found for his Back-to-front Dyslexia: the Vicar of Nibbleswicke must walk backwards for the rest of his life.
The Vicar Of Nibbleswicke was written by Roald Dahl in the last months of his life. In a typical act of generosity he donated the story (and Quentin Blake's illustrations) for the benefit of the Dyslexia Institute.
