MUIRHEAD'S MYSTERIES: A VERY VERY SHORT BLOG ABOUT A VERY VERY ODD TOAD

Darn, I wish it were a frog but it is a toad. Frog would have made a good rhyme!


From The Times of November 12th 1790 comes this tale of an entombed toad with a difference:(I say this because toads usually seem to be entombed in stones.) 'Last week, in cutting up an ash tree, which had been felled in Ennerdale, a live toad was found in the core of it at the distance of 14ft from the root. The tree was in other respects, perfectly sound.' (1)
