Read by Tom himself the gruesome, darkly humorous tale concerns a troublesome boy who has a nasty habit of kicking pigs- causing havoc in his community.

Slightly out of date news I think! I saw that on CD several years ago. It was released by BBV, Bill Baggs company and had an interview with Tom on disc 2. Assume this is some kind of reissue?
