The stories are about interactions between an ordinary man and a ghost. The spirit is a whimsical character of charm and adventure. He loves animals and people. The ghost is the spirit of Wisdom. He openly shares his wit, wisdom and life lessons. The man in the stories isn't always ready to learn the lessons the spirit of Wisdom has to offer. Sometimes the spirit has to use a bit of creativity to get the message across to the more stubborn learners. The spirit of Wisdom is actually genderless. I labelled as him. The ghost's name is Wisdom, which I have written with a capital W. This capital does not imply that I consider the spirit of Wisdom to be God. I don’t. The capital W is to denote his name, just as if it was someone called Peter or Jack or Simon. His name is a noun, and I treat it accordingly.The stories told cover a variety of lessons from the spirit of Wisdom, including love, life, money and truth. Originally written to fit on the SMS format, the stories of the interactions the man has with the spirit of Wisdom has grown to a massive collection. These snippets of conversation with the spirit are born out of love; love for life and love for the world in which life happens. Views: 567

This comic retelling of the first two books of Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte D'Arthur also descibes Sir Balin and his weird quest to strike the Dolorous Blow and die tragically. It's a hoot and a half!DID YOU KNOW:Sir Balin, the knight who delivered the dolorous stroke, was so stupid half of Camelot assumed it was an act to cover for his witchcraft? Sir Gawaine was a whiny little brat who demanded unlimited special treatment on account of he was King Arthur’s nephew? Arthur only married Guinevere to get his hands on her dowry, the Round Table? Nobody liked Merlin because he was terrible?If you did know all those things, clearly you’ve read Le Morte d’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, and I pity you. No one should have to slog through that pile of continuity errors and insipid descriptions of jousts. I’ve spent years of my life poring over all twenty-one Books of this foundational work of fantasy literature, dreadful as it is. Here, for your amusement and edification, I recount, dissect, and ruthlessly mock each ridiculous plot contrivance, each self-contradictory anecdote, and each unnamed damsel who runs in from offscreen and dies.Arthur Dies at the End volume 1: Something About a Sword and a Stone? covers Books I through III of Le Morte d’Arthur. Here you’ll find King Arthur’s earliest days, from the hilarious and rape-filled account of his conception to the bit with the sword in the stone we all remember to his first war to his loveless wedding to Guinevere and his nephew Gawaine’s very first quest (he screws it up pretty bad)!ARTHUR DIES AT THE END: I read Le Morte d’Arthur so you don’t have to!
