This mirror didn't show you your reflection. Instead, it showed you your soul — it showed you who you really were. But the king couldn't look into the mirror without tuming away, and nor could his courtiers. No one could.

Professor Wilson is here in the UK to champion MEMO, the "Alexandrine" project to build a global beacon for biodiversity on the Jurassic Coast.
