Map of Privett etc
Privett is a sleepy village in Hampshire in Old England. It's a very traditional place and nothing exciting ever happens there. Or at least that's what most people think... The people who live there keep quiet about what really goes on, because they don't want lots of reporters disturbing their peace. If the TV news people knew what an exciting place it really was, they would probably keep a camera crew there all the time. Yet still they might see nothing. Because the most exciting things happen at night, when all the good people of Privett are tucked up in bed. This is a story about Alexander Woyte, a young boy living in Jibb Cottage, in Privett. He didn't expect to have an adventure. And this is how it began…

Author's note:- when I wrote the story Alexander Woyte and the Goblins I was living in Baughurst - which was about 40 minutes drive up the A34 from Privett. In later years I moved to East Sussex. If you're interested in the unreliability of maps and finding your way around seemingly identical country lanes take a look at my blog called where inexactly is Chiltington Lane? and my story set in Clayton near Ditchling called - Jamie and the Tree Troll.
