The Inscription

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 107717

Astra noted an inscription on the flyleaf: To my dear friend Ben, from Jim Shirk. So it seemed that James Shirk was a real person, though it left open whether the adventures described in the book had any basis at all in fact or were pure fiction, perhaps written by a man who was not a ship's captain and had never gone to sea in his life. Judging by the pictures, the uncredited illustrator certainly didn't take the tales seriously, but she couldn't be sure whether the author also had his tongue in his cheek.

  1. Astra read the story that accompanied the illustration set in the pumpkin patch, which went as follows ....
  2. Astra read the trashy, but hilarious book for about an hour, and then snuffed out the lamp and went to sleep.
  3. Astra was startled to find that Shirk had supposedly encountered herself. Apparently Princess Astra was 6' 6" tall, had absolutely huge breasts, and habitually went around stark naked. At least the writer had got her hair colour correct.
