To those of you now reading this;

I, Count Snoodbart Shivley the Third, welcome you. Myself and one Mr. Nodal Nim, accompanied at various times by a delightful cast of compatriots, spent some large amount of time exploring one Mr.Rocket Ship. In my capacity as the President of the Rocket Ship Exploration, Operation, Preservation, Investigation, Celebration and Decoration Society, London Chapter, I took copious notes and samples of the wonderful objects on the Rocket Ship. I had a great deal of interesting adventures, which will be archived in this reader. I certianly hope you gain enlightenment and pleasure from our archives.

The selected works of the Count can be found only deep in the Queen's archives.
