Yeah, I really like that one. We shared it a while back on the FB page for the Order.

As well as being a fighter I'm also a bard in the SCA and I will be telling my little one all the tales of hero's I can.

At some of the events we attend we have quite proficient "story tellers"
Although they predominantly tell stories of Welsh origin ( such is the Celtic tradition) many stories are of knights and their daring heroism.
I have often found myself sitting cross legged on the grass in amongst a crowd of kids, all agog at the wonderfully colorful and absorbing narration .

Fantastic  ;)

Verily, that is so!
Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth.
