I read a lot of British fiction when I was growing up, and fell in love with those town names. You know the names I mean – towns like Bishop’s Cleeve or Tenburywells or Sandford St. Martin.

So you can imagine my delight when, on my only visit to England, I found myself in the town of Lower Slaughter (between Bourton-on-the-Water and Stow-on-the-Wold).
