Part I
All over the kingdom speech sounds are going missing from the beginnings of words. Is someone stealing them? Possibly, but whatever the cause, they must be recovered! The /p/ sound is the first to go, then the /r/. Because the sounds are going missing, no one, not even the king, can speak properly. Their utterances are becoming meaningless gibberish. Even the King makes as much sense as anyone else these days!

No one can tell ‘ight from ‘ong, they can only turn left, ‘ight-handed people can only ‘ite left handed. When someone is robbed, nothing can be done about it, because the ‘obbery can’t be ‘ecorded.

The King decides he must act. He accepts the help of Wizard Oddfellow, who begins the quest for the ‘ascal who has stolen the missing sounds. With ‘ince ‘oger and ‘incess ‘achel’s assistance, he must solve the mystery before more sounds disappear from the Kingdom.
