Puppendottir of North America: An Introduction

As the amanuensis (known - I hope fondly! as The Missus) for Attis Puppendottir, Farm Manager, Myristica Farms, I thought it might be useful to introduce the extended Puppendottir clan.

Puppendottir are a widespread family group of little people, most of whom are house managers for a friendly home- or farm-owner. They prefer a householder, or "husman", as they were originally referred to, who lives in an older dwelling with ample access for the intent observation of various local animal and plant species.

Many Puppen work in some capacity as naturalists among the minute and largely unknown species of their own world; many spend their lives documenting the interactions between householder and Puppen beings.

In keeping with their small size and their deep affection for living beings of all types, Puppen eat no meat but the occasional egg. They have a keen appetite for good toast (with butter) and jam of all kinds, and deeply admire the Brussels sprout.

These violets will be turned over to the owner and chef of Vic & Kai's Deli at The Big House, Victorine Ouessant deFleury. Her recipe for blanc de violette farci appears elsewhere. 

Victorine Ouessant deFleury is a member of Ovis nympha puppenidae, most of whom are descended from Kalasiris XVII, a companion of Hatshepsut as well as the famed 19th-century French master painter Guillaume Edouard Ouessant. As such, many of these tiny sheep, la famille Ouessant, as they are commonly known, are known for their taste in millinery design and choux pastry.

Family historians present at the opening of the tomb of Kalasiris in 1929 were able to identify the relationship based on the famed King-Queen's correspondence, ca. 1473 BC, "Regarding my esteemed and tiny friend of myriad and glorious hats."

Victorine is shown here holding her chicken, Nilla, who has been in the deFleury family for many generations. It should be noted that while la famille Ouessant usually can be identified by their truly fabulous headgear, Clemenceau had loaned his favorite tocque to a visiting friend and sous-chef, Cookie Moon, far right.
