Roll up! Roll up! Behold a water-drenched tale of marvellous creatures, transgender sailors, sex- changing fish and doomed seals. Tales of Boy Nancy tells the stories of those born in-between - voiced by a Sailor, the Girl who loves him, and an omnipresent Showman.
"Brave, and firmly woven [poems]. Nichols does not tell us what we should think, but delights in allowing us to draw our own conclusions. [The tales are] sensitively told [showing] a very strong sense of humanity. The uncertainty voiced in 'The Train from Chester is on Time' is beautiful and delicately handled. How many of us would dare to ask such relevant questions?. Nichols does indeed speak in tongues." Maureen Almond
