the victim, the investigator, the traveller, you get the picture,
but I have never heard of one being written by a head, a
severed one at that, but now you can follow the exploits of Oliver Cromwell’s embalmed head as it travelled for the next three hundred years across the
Commonwealth, the memoirs of Oliver Cromwell’s embalmed
head have surfaced, making it the first account of any world leader or any
human being for that matter chronicling the afterlife, this remarkable memoir
recounts its journey through the centuries, beginning with Cromwell’s decapitation
and the head’s impalement on a post at Westminster Hall, where it stayed for
more than twenty years before being freed by a heavy storm, over the centuries,
the head enjoyed a series of unexpected adventures, encountering a host of
bizarre and well-known characters, from its many owners, these escapades came to an end only after the head was
eventually buried for good in 1960, I am not a betting person but I bet when
Oliver instigated the beheading of England’s King Charles I in 1649 he
did not know that his own head would leave him as well, what a great if unusual read.
