The Vicar of Nibbleswicke is a children's story written by Roald Dahl and illustrated by Quentin Blake.
The Reverend Lee is suffering from a rare and acutely embarrassing condition: Back-to-Front Dyslexia, a fictional type of dyslexia that causes the sufferer always to say the most important word in a sentence backwards.

I picked up the Vicar of Nibbleswick when I was 19, delighted that I had found a Roald Dahl book that I had never read before.

For the record, again, I wrote: "health care is not the business of the State" and that Reform policy was to make it "completely independent of government".
