Well, I can only say I was jolly proud of that tin canoe I'd made with my own hands and had painted pitch black with some tarry goo I found in an old bucket after the road workers had been busy in our area. I was always on cloud nine when I could go onto the lake and gaze at all the birds and waterfowl on the open water and in the various passages winding among the reeds. To be honest, to me the lake was like a little paradise where I could always escape when things got too rough for me on the home front. But maybe I should've taken serious note of Captain Hook’s warnings at the time, because of the ghastly drama that was to take place later on . . .

Once upon a time, there was a child who did not know who she was, or where she came from. She knew only that her name was Beatryce.

Found at a monastery by Brother Edik, the girl was curled up in an animal pen with a goat named Answelica. Though feared by many for her sharp teeth, hard head, and wily ways, Answelica remarkably chose to be the protector of this child. Which was fortunate for Beatryce, as she was being hunted by the king's men, bringing danger upon them all.

Our heroine will need to find a great deal of courage before our tale is ended. And oh, what a tale it is...
