Sir Karl Perrin the GreatI'm the cap't of the Knights. I am the greatest knight, the castle is attacked by dragons. It's looks like for me to have a Big War Between Knights & Dragons for the first time. One of the dragons are Nice. The rest are Evil. The lady dragon is our side. On Sat 10 Nov 1077, We trick the dragons by pretending to run away. When the Dragons chase us, we turn around and killed them. When the Grey Dragon was killed by me, The Dragons fly away like big Chickens. We saved the castle & I became king of England on Mon 31 Jan 1078. (Added October 2003)

It was my turn today to collect taxes. My dad (King Dale) has a daily tax that the peasants must pay. 20 gold & 12 silver coins. Of course my sisters get to go to another ball. The second one in 3 days.
I the youngest of 4 sisters. So I must stay in the castle's walls. My dad does not know that I sneak out to the hawks now & then. Supper is ready. I must go.

Lirael Luhelm14th day of September , 1480
Thomas is home from the abbey today for the rest of the week. While he is out playing with the village children I am shut indoors sewing until my fingers fall to the dirty stone floors. Corpus bones! I hate being lady-like, as my caretaker, Malinda, likes to say. Lady-like. That is pure rubbish, there is nothing lady-like about tending to the needs of your ale head father and sewing your brains out. I am running low on ink so I shall depart now. I picked 7 fleas off today. God's thumbs! (Added October 2003)Moolay, 12, USA
LesleyWednesday, March 19,1420
My name is Lesley. I am a maid in this gigantic castle. I wash beautiful dresses for the Lady of the castle.
I place the clothes in a small, round washtub. I scrub them with my hands. I have to bake a cake for a big banquet tonight. The banquet is for the Lord and Lady from another castle. I will also make pheasant, deer and goose. (Added October 2003)Lesley, 10, USA

Alexandria DeniseToday I went to the stables and rode a pony. I know my father says it's inappropriate for a fair lady to go horseback riding, but I just hope he'll never find out. I also had to make a quilt for the coming winter. It's a long way off, but we have to get a head start!
