Introduction

Another wonderful share from The Enchanted Booklet on Facebook, which I think deserves a tale.

The music is "Confusion" by New Order. When I bought the 12" single, neither the record store guy nor I could work out what it was from the cover. I was looking for "Blue Monday". The title was on the actual record.

What The Puck?

Puck could not be trusted by humans. He was Oberon's jester and always looking to create havoc for them. He often talked with fairies such as Tinkerbell, and together they would plot mischievous pranks.

They would get spiders to weave webs over sleeping arachnophobes, and turning Bottom's head into a Donkey's head was the source of much hilarity.

Today they were planning to cast a spell to make everyone think that anyone they met wanted to spend a night of love with them, male, female or animal. One man thought his dog had fallen in love with him, and the following morning he was worried his friends would find out.

When Puck and Tinkerbell meet, all humans in their vicinity need to be wary.
