Title: The Legend of the Lincoln Imp
Credits: Produced by Al Haines
Summary: "The Legend of the Lincoln Imp" by H. J. Kesson is a whimsical narrative poem written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the mischievous adventures of a young imp who disrupts the sanctity of Lincoln Cathedral. The piece blends elements of folklore and humor, presenting a moral tale about the consequences of irreverence and the importance of respecting places of worship. The story begins with the imp, overflowing with exuberance, as he decides to create chaos within the cathedral by mocking its rituals and causing turmoil among its officials. His antics, however, draw the ire of a tiny angel who ultimately transforms him into stone as punishment for his impudence. This transformation serves as a physical manifestation of the themes of respect and humility. Kesson concludes the tale with a cautionary moral, advising against meddling with sacred matters and emphasizing the repercussions of one's actions, making it a light-hearted yet meaningful read that reflects on obedience and the spirit of reverence.
