Upcoming Editions

April 2007
Revolting Peasants

march editionThe feast was a complete disaster! The food was awful (the cook will be loosing his head come morning), the entertainment was second rate at best (let's see them juggle without the use of their arms) and the queen was spending to much time in the company of the Earl of Most Fetching. What else could go wrong...?

"The peasants are revolting! The peasants are revolting!"

Coming soon.

March 2007
The Medieval Forest

march editionAhh, the medieval forest! Home to grand oak trees and ancient yews, wild boars and elegant stags and let's not forget - common outlaws adorned in lime green tights and united in jovial camaraderie.

What more is there to say ?

Coming to a website near you, sometime in March...

Latest Editions

February 2007
The Lover's Edition

It's the season of love, and the gentles of the shire are feeling especially amorous - so much so that they have expressed their love in verse. In this edition you will learn How to Seduce a Laurel, read the mediaeval story of Tristan and Isolde and be subjected to more poetry - only this time written by Sir Walter Raleigh.
