The Start of Ralphie’s Epic Adventures
After being tutored by his mother on the finer points of heraldic traditions and chivalric codes … and having listened to, read, and learned by heart the heroic tales told and written about some of the finest knight errants to have ever lived …
Ralphie, somewhat absentmindedly, somewhat determinedly, one day packs a bindle, ties it to a walking stick, and wanders away from his home in the enchanted forest of his youth, guilelessly venturing into the Land of the Clock-Watchers.
Thus began Ralphie’s quest for the Grail of legend and lore, the likes of which are rarely ever experienced.
After his worldly adventures were mostly accomplished, Ralphie forced himself into an early retirement to put pen to paper and make of his life what he could in prose and poetry, as is the philosopher prince’s nature.
