Professor Professor Nigel Peasbody, Esq, BVSc, BEng, Master of Origami, is the celebrated author of the Stagnant Swamp State School histories. He has just returned from a season touring with the Australian Symphony Orchestra. Unfortunately, he wasn’t one of the performers: he accidentally became locked inside a cello case and was carried around four continents as excess baggage. When he isn't locked inside a cello case, then he likes to write, and to knit pieces of string into useful objects such as telephone cosies and ornamental teapots.
