There be a family tree diagram that is hilarious.

Denmark
Norway
WWII
Families
Treasure
Bedside
Brawling
Penury
Scandinavian
Paper read
I was feeling a little grief at the end of the MARSTAL adventures as it had accompanied me to bed over quite somr time, however up pops this story, which if my eagle-eye serves me right, overlaps with some of the same ships. As with Albert in 'We, The Drowned', the pre-pubescent Jug Ears in 'Doghead' seems to be in tune with information from beyond the norm.
5*
