Tonight, we’ll read the opening chapters to a new series titled “The Rose and the Ring”. Written by William Makepeace Thackeray, and originally published in 1854, the tale is set in the enchanting imaginary realms of Paflagonia and Crim Tartary.

As we follow the lives of King Valoroso, his Queen, and their Princess Angelica, we’ll experience a fascinating blend of royal manners and gentle magic.

Thackeray’s story explores themes of loyalty, power, and family dynamics, with a touch of mystery and charm.
