DRAFT LETTER FROM LANCRE. CONTINUATION OF A STORY: From Jesters to Kings (or the vicissitudes of fate)

Greetings, dear friends. Today I will tell you about VERENCE, our gallant Royal Jester.

Birth of Verence

Here's what he tells about his childhood SIR TERRY PUTCHETT, and who knows better ...

- When, at the age of six, he decided to tell his grandfather a joke of his own making, the joke was about a duck...

- He was given a grand flogging that night...

- You, my dear, will know the science... There's no class in the world more serious than Mockingjay. So from now on you will never, ever tell a single joke that doesn't pass Guild approval.

He would only know what awaits him ...

So the Jester had to resume cramming three hundred and eighty-three Guild-approved witticisms and anecdotes. Then he was sent to study in Ankhand there, in the empty, desolate halls, he came across a different book from the giant, tin-framed tablum, THE WONDERFUL CRESTOMATES.

What is a jester without a cap with bells?

IN Anke the whole huge WORLD was revealed to him DISKon which he     

was born, a lot of the most curious and wonderful activities opened up….

Who would have thought?

Meeting a witch is a good sign!

Traditional ...

This is how he entered adulthood….

Next time I will tell you about NANNY YAGG, that's where the character is!

To be continued…
