The story[edit]

"The story was apparently originally written by Prince Charles to entertain his own children." - this must have been quite a long-range plan on HRH's part then, as in 1980 he didn't have any children, in fact he wasn't even married! ChrisTheDude 14:16, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're quite right, and that's been corrected in the article. — Athænara ✉ 05:44, 10 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Other British languages[edit]

"He has also attempted to read it in the Welsh language and Scottish Gaelic translations on television."

Attempted? Did he or didn't he? Or did he fail spectacularly? Actual information would be nice. --Breadandcheese 03:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Right you are. Fixed. — Athænara ✉ 05:30, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Synopsis??[edit]

The synopsis supplied here is not at all the story in the book. I can only suppose it's from one of the adaptations. As this article appears to be primarily about the book (that is, the original story), I think the story should be from that. 69.88.46.242 (talk) 01:54, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely right. The "Plot" section describes the cartoon TV adaptation, which can be found on YouTube ([1]). For a reading of the real story, see here: [2]. Wouldn't the TV adaptation deserve its own article? Rho9998 (talk) 16:06, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Gorn?[edit]

Or Gorm? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.97.203.93 (talk) 20:41, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
