These toys were caught cattle rustling, and many folks round these parts depend on them there cows for their livelihood. Punishment is therefore swift and severe.
LOL - thanks for the laugh!

Public shaming -- you have such an imagination for storytelling so you must have undoubtedly grown up with a rich literary tradition of historical tales.

@linnypinny @jyokota Hey thanks for the comments! I guess I did grow up with a lot of stories - big reader here.

@cityhillsandsea CS Lewis, Terry Pratchett, Brian Jacques, Neil Gaiman? Or . . . Pullman?

@jyokota Haha! "yes" is the best answer here!

@cityhillsandsea except I just realized those are all my favorite fantasy writers and not historical fiction . . . I did like Rosemary Sutcliff and she's a historical fiction writer . . .

@jyokota Here's the thing though, absolutely everyone you mentioned is phenomenal in terms of world-building so the fact that your brain went straight to them when trying to think of historical fiction is just effusive praise for their abilities to create realities that feel just as real as our own.

Oh and yes! Rosemary Sutcliff is good. I feel like this image lies more in the Robert Service territory of historical fiction... ;)
