The fourth of The Gnomestead Tapestry children’s stories. Part 2 of 2

This is “1, 2, 3, The Tapestry I See! — Gnorman’s Ark: Animal Alphabet” — the third in the series of “The Gnomestead Tapestry” intended for the younger set. This time we go through an animal alphabet. I posted “A – M” yesterday — today I’m posting “N – Z”.

I hadn’t realized how hard it would be to find the 26 animals for the alphabet. I wanted to keep from going too exotic and tried keep the choices in line with the South Cringle Archduchies. A few only fit considering the “lost” elephant. “X” and “Y” among other letters were particularly challenging. The xantis is a type of yak, found in Africa while of course the yak is a yak.

I hope you enjoy it and will share it with your friends, relatives, and colleagues. You needn’t do any ear lending if you don’t want to. Remember if your friends tell friends soon hundreds will have read these.
