Epigraph

She is not any common earth
Water or wood or air,
But Merlin's Isle of Gramarye
Where you and I will fare.

Dedication

First words

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays it was Court Hand and Summulae Logicales, while the rest of the week it was the Organon, Repetition and Astrology. The governess was always getting muddled - she would take it out of the Wart by rapping his knuckles.
