The Frogs mock King Heron

                                          Paul, Rachel and Anthony set up The Frogs Mock

                                          King Heron in Anthony's field. This is after the

                                          fable by Aesop in which the frogs ask for a King
                                          and he sends them a King Heron. The Frogs mock
                                          him, so Zeus sends down a snake who gobbles them
                                          up. The Heron is by Rachel Macleay and Paul
                                          Boswell, the Frogs by Anthony Wilson. They will
                                          from May 28th to June 2011 be on display in the
                                          2 acre sculpturemad garden   www.sculpturemad.com 
                                          as part of the Wylye Valley Art Trail  www.wvat.co.uk  
                                          in Wiltshire  and then at  Stourhead the world famous
