Publisher's Synopsis

Leek has produced a Gold Medal winner in rowing, a Blue Peter presenter and the effective ruler of the country in the late summer of 1714. It also housed General Brunet, a prisoner in the town during the Napoleonic Wars, who betrayed Toussaint L'Overture the liberator of Haiti.
That's quite a list for a town that nestles close by the Peak National Park and is known as the "Queen of the Moorlands."

For 12 months, Bill Cawley was Mayor of Leek during a tumultuous period which included a change of monarch, three Prime Ministers, the acknowledgement of the world champion grower of a leek and making a flatulent terrier Mayor for the day.

This engaging and often witty memoir recalls the highlights of Bill's year in office, as well as his 10 Top Tips for anyone thinking of becoming a mayor. It will be of interest to anyone with an interest in local government and social history.
