Every good
tale needs a good opening.
There’s the
classic “A long, long time ago, in a land
far away”, which is good for all occasions. There’s also the iconic (and brilliant)
“In a hole in the ground there lived a
hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy
smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to
eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort”, which I’d never dare appropriate
for myself.
And then

These are
the character models released along with Shadows over Bögenhafen. They are not
the rarest of the set, though I suspect they may be some of the most
expensive. Wanda can be especially pricy, with a buy-now price around £50 – which just goes to show that you should never trust those things. I got her for
£8.
