A Prospective Introduction To Ralph's Book

 

    I wonder if you patient and helpful guys would take a look at this bit of text and tell me if it seems like an adequate introduction to The Book of Ralph?

    Is there anything else that should be there?  Is there anything there that shouldn't be there?

Introduction

Possibly a word of explanation is in order. After all, the subject of our story is a most unusual character.

To start at the beginning, his birth was a process of evolution, that started with some blog posts. At that beginning point Ralph himself was presented as very near the common perception of Sasquatch in the Pacific Northwest. But, he couldn’t stay there. He wandered off. Not away from the PNW, but away from how he is usually presented, as fearsome and irrational.

A world grew up around him and his friends and family in the great forest. A world apart, full of oddities and homely virtues.

Over the months, with each new chapter or vignette, his personality developed into the fine fellow you will meet in these pages.

By the end of the series, you will know his wife, Ramona, his children, Twigg and Cherry, and his many friends and co-inhabitants in the wonderful world inside the Mt. Baker Snoqualmie National Forest.
