Ahhh, Dear Tim,

Your Master Raconteur is showing his full glory in the soul of this exemplarily laid piece.

Especially impactful, how it’s recounted from the recollection of a fledgling lad by his grandfather’s side and grandmother’s caring hand, along with Labrador Brownie … sooo vividly exemplified, as though it all came form your own experience … and, within the boundless realm of your unique imagination, perhaps, it did.

Grammatically brilliant, a low sweep of my feather-crested chapeau to your golden pen, My Friend!
A work, no doubt, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, himself, would have envied.

Thank you ever-so gratefully and sincerely, Syr Author, for the shared pleasure of your intricately-blessed, artistic skills! ⁓ Richard🖌

Tim this is an truly great memory piece and is filled with the wonder of a lad just beginning to understand the world around him. Your narrative is as superbly scribed as it is vivid and memorable. Truly a work of art that is articulated with excellent literary skills. Your prose gift shines here. This spoke to me of a coming of age piece with the young boy trying to make sense of the world and events around me. Your ability with description both the of the scene the the boy’s thoughts as he saw it were superb. Truly great prose.

What an amazing and well-written story this is! You know how I love true tales from the past, and this one sure fits the bill. Your young thoughts are so familiar, and I know how it all had such an impact on you. Giants, knights and dragons surely would be expected in that cavernous place! I enjoyed this a lot.

Fiction? That’s even grander!

Read all three.
I’m gobsmacked.
🙏

Hmmm? I have been “gob” smacked many times. Lol. Thank for commenting.

Powerful and poignant.

It’s part of a trilogy. Thanks for the comment.
