Will has walked beside Peter from the beginning, yet we do not truly know him. He is there in the half-glimpsed shoulder on the hillside, in the quiet figure on the harbour wall, in the steady presence across a rattling train carriage. But where did he come from? Did he grow up the son of a blacksmith, a dockworker, a butcher, a schoolmaster? We are asking you to help shape the soil he sprang from. Give him a street, a kitchen table, a mother’s voice calling him in at dusk.
