about

Did you ever wonder how stone circles came into being (I mean the real reason). Did you ever wonder where the first ever jester hat came from?
These questions are answered in "A History For Paupers"

N.B This was written in a time when creating new realities was something people did for fun.

Three stories; excursions of the imagination providing an alternate view of history for your delectation.
