Description

"False, they were all of them false, the stories; as false as the stories of fairies dancing in moonlight glades on Midsummer Night."But they served a purpose. In a distant time and far-off kingdom, life is hard. People don't have enough to eat, and winter is upon them. There's little that offers hope, and many turn to the legends of Jackaroo -- the masked outlaw hero who rides at night giving aid to the helpless and coin to the destitute -- for solace.
