Bertie Random is an ordinary man and an unlucky traveller. While fleeing monsters on foot, he is accosted by an octopus on roller skates who gives him eight letters. These letters tell the tales of strange incidents across time and space. If Bertie learns the appropriate lessons from reading them, he will be knighted by Fate herself and his bad luck will turn into opportunity. Arise, Sir Random?
An epic poem (or a mock-epic or pseudo-mock-epic) that consists of a frame story and eight other odd and fantastical adventures that are related to the quest of the main protagonist.
