Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Albion. Albion has been dead for years but Azuriel is convinced
that he will return. Prior to his arrival, he demands Albion
marries a mortal woman to ensure Kenna for himself. Puck must
manipulate a human couple and create a fake wedding for a man that
