Feb 2018, Jerrimund's Quest

Another quest. With two other kids and a Raggedy Andy doll. Andy needs real eyes, mouth and nose, so all the skills and magic of Ozimund, Frizzimund and Jerrimund will be called upon.

The first step for the group is the Patoopah train with our old friend The Little Man with the Big Voice. The train has stopped because the Dark Knight has stolen all the patoopah. Thomas thinks he might be able to find more.

But in Patoopah Land Sal tells the group that his silo is bare because the Dark Knight stole all his patoopah as well as the money he was going to use to buy seeds.

In the Land of the Knights, Dark Knight wants ransom money for the stolen patoopah.

Peter Pan is not much help in Animal Land.

In Diamond Land they meet the three bears again and get three diamonds to use to get Sal's patoopah seed money back.

Will the diamonds be enough to satisfy Dark Knight? Will he give Sal's money back? We hope these questions will be answered as we read on.

Once again getting diamonds to pay Dark Knight appears to be in jeopardy as all three are required as the group visits the Land of Treats and the Land of Machines.

Prince William helps by telling them they may be able to get something from the treasure in the Land of Dreams to pay Dark Knight for the patoopah seed money.

They see Peter Pan in the Land of Dreams but he can't remember where he put the treasure. Fuzziwig's name comes up as a possibility before the group has to leave the Land of Dreams.

Success with King Fuzziwig. They get three items to take to Dark Knight to get Sal's patoopah seed money.

What more lies in store for the intrepid travelers?

The travelers meet the lost boys and Peter Pan in Neverland. They tell Peter what they took from the treasure to pay Dark Knight for Sal's patoopah seed money.

Ozimund is very confident that with his usual fee he can fix Raggedy Andy's mouth. After a tour of Ozimundia the travelers have treats including Goldilocks' favorite angel food cake.

Frizzimund the Great has lost his yellow topaz gem. Before Raggedy Andy can have his nose changed the topaz has to be found and returned to Frizzimund.

In Neverland they find Peter Pan. He remembers that Redbeard the pirate has Frizzimund's topaz.

The Land of Dreams gives the group treats and a key. But they don't find Redbeard or Dark Knight. And where the key fits is a mystery.

There is no topaz in The Crystal Forest, but there is another key. The second key opens a door on the Patoopah Train.

Success at last. In Pirate Land Redbeard takes the diamond, emerald and black pearl from Thomas and the blue ribbon from Captain Hook. In return he gives Sal's patoopah seed money and the topaz to Thomas to put in his belly pack.

In Patoopah Land Thomas gives the money back to Sal. The kids have the topaz and now they need to return it to Frizzimund.

Returning the topaz to Frizzimund gives Raggedy Andy his real eyes . To change his nose the travelers will have to see Jerrimund.

Before he gets a real nose, they have to return to Ozimundia to get a real mouth for Raggedy Andy. When that happens he also gets a squeaky voice because Ozimund hasn't perfected that part yet.

An eye for a servant? Yes, that's what Jerrimund has. She also has a rhyme that she speaks to give Raggedy Andy a real nose so he can smell the roses. Jerrimund offers them rose tea but the eye is late and the travelers leave Jerrimundia. Raggedy Andy thanks Jerrimund for his nose.
