"The Vicar of Nibbleswicke" is a children's story book about a vicar suffering and overcoming a learning disability called dyslexia. With the help of his parents and doctors, he was able to subdue the disability completely as a child and follow his dream of learning and becoming a vicar.
As an educated young man, Robert Lee becomes assigned to the position of Reverend in a place called Nibbleswicke. Reverend Robert Lee starts to become stressed about his new assignments and responsibilities, and his dyslexia returns in form of words that are reversed as he speaks without him even noticing it. This results in rather peculiar and awkward situations, like when he is supposed to say God he says dog.
The parishioners understand and accept this new way of holding sermons as an escape from boredom. Unfortunately, some reversed words end up making the sentences sound vulgar and cause very uncomfortable situations.
Reverend Lee decides to see a doctor when he realizes what is happening, and this doctor explains that there is a simple solution. He just needs to walk backwards as he talks. He soon becomes accustomed to this new addition to his life and wears a mirror on his head to make walking backwards easier.
The story is written for the Dyslexia Institute by the author and portrays themes that teach children to overcome obstacles in their lives and follow their dreams.
