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  ;)
