Our window into this murky medieval world is through the medium of Prang’s Journal, a scruffy assemblage of parchment sheets loosely bound in a ratty piece of second-hand vellum, that has survived the ravages of the centuries against all odds. Prang’s daily entries however are somewhat economical with the truth to put it mildly, tending to gloss over his faux pas in his dealings with the King and even omitting some of the worst episodes altogether. Fortunately for the sake of history we are able to assemble the true events behind these woefully sketchy diary entries from various recently-discovered contemporary writings which, unfortunately from Prang’s viewpoint, put the record straight.
Here, for the first time together, are extracts from Wizard Prang’s Journal, a chronicler clearly not in the same class as Samuel Pepys, together with the true catastrophic events behind each entry.

Right next to his left boot there was a rusty nail sticking out of the floorboards. Maybe I'll wake up if I hurt myself, I felt my tears run down my face and just as one fell on the floorboard, he reached down and grabbed my hand with such force I thought he was going to brake it. As he pulled me up I pushed my free hand into the nail and closed my eyes as it penetrated my skin.
Ahhhh I screamed in pain, jumped off the bed and landed in the middle of my room. I looked around in surprise holding my breath and then exhaled relieved that I was safe. I lay down on my knees, I was exhausted, I took my hands to my face only to see that I was bleeding from a wound in the middle of my palm. Damn I'm crazy
