Book

I was exiled, cast out from my own lands, by the evil High Steward Denethor of Gondor.  My heart wept and my mind railed against this injustice, yet ever foremost was my thought turned toward stopping whatever evilness the evil man was planning.  Also, I hadn’t had lunch and I was getting a bit peckish.  All in all, the overwhelming tragedy of my miserable lot made me quite grumpy indeed.

Yes, the evil High Steward¹ Denethor, stood even in the doorway to my castle, his wicked eyes glittering with malice as he sneered at me wickedly.

This book that you hold now in your hands will change your life.

This may seem an impossible claim, and yet claim it I do!  For the tale, nay, the epic tale which you are about to uncover, is nothing less than the entire secret history of the War of the Ring, and how the King was restored to our Middle-earth.

<-------Parts VII-VIII
 

IX - Of the Tower in the Sea

<-------Parts IV - VI

VII - Of the Rescue of Fleetstride

So it was that the Princess Starbright stole secret over the land, swift-flying in eagle cloak.  And she marvelled and wondered at the wide fields and green hills, for over long years had she seen naught but the woods of Mother Applebloom.  Yet ever as she drew closer to the castle did her heart turn from wonder to sorrow, for the orc-king had defiled the land, and despoiled its beauties.

<-------Parts I - III
 

IV - Of the Errand of Mother Applebloom

I - Of Evil and Folly

There once was a little king of a great kingdom.  His wife bore the king a daughter, and she was named Starbright, for her eyes were deep as the night and gleamed as the heavens.  And she was fair and loved by all, and grew in grace and kindness.

Old Farmer Jack sat by the fire, dozing and grumbling on a fine summer’s eve, when ratta-tat-tat! a knocking broke out something fierce at his door.
