Failing the walking stick method (see Monday's Post), blackberry-pickers have always devised ingenious ways of reaching the best fruit. Blackberrying in a Devonshire Lane is by Frank Dadd; it appeared in The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper in 1891. Its light-heartedness is a long way from the complex blackberry-themed poems by Sylvia Plath and Seamus Heaney.
