The Legend of the Tookaland King

The Legend of the Tookaland King

Deep within the vast and ancient Libraries of the ‘Tookalore’, there are dusty tomes which chart the rise and fall of a wise and benevolent king.  He led the people to victory against malevolent forces of the Kubel Kult. 

Shortly after peace was restored he vanished quite suddenly and was never seen again.   Some accounts suggest that he sleeps within the house of the ‘Sequentian Pale’ and that if Tookaland is ever threatened by the Kubel he will return.

Notes in the margin tell us that he was blessed with a crown shaped head; that he had a fondness for dramatic cloaks with dazzling broaches and that his favourite sandwich was ‘humus and tomato’.

Hello From The Original 'Tooka'

Original ‘Tooka’ was made 5 years ago just after the birth of my first child Amélie Rose.

He is an anchor for positive energy and invested with a powerful creative force. I still carry him with me as he is one the foundation stones of all tings Tookaland.

I post him here to bring good fortune to this blog.
I hope you like him.
