Alan,

This is indeed sad news.  I just finished reading Bog Cotton, really enjoyed Ken's work.  Thanks for the links.

Hello Carl,

This is a knotty and thorny question this is hard to answer - we do unconsciously echo the words and lines of others and I think we've all done that at some time; but there are also those who go a little further than that. Through naiveté or design, it's hard to say, especially as no one is going to put their hand up and admit plagiarism.

Thanks for these links Sandra.  My practise is to note when I am writing, take photographs if possible and have composition notes.
