About this listen

My name is Presto, and I am a ghost. I am an orphan from Athy, Ireland. Through treacherous adventures, I find myself as a penniless starving boy, desperately trying to survive on the streets of London in 1587.

But by the route that fate guides me, I will come to know Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, and those of her court. I will know Lord Walsingham and Sir Francis Drake, the most commanding men in England. I will also know the cruelest men bred from war. All paths will meet when Sir Francis Drake, the El Draque, prepares to fight the Spanish Armada. While I, the Alley Cat, must face my fate alone.

The time has come for me to tell you my story from so long ago. I am writing this history not with ink and quill, but by your magical devices of a keyboard scribe and a parchment that glows. As the tale unfolds, you will hopefully see what I saw, feel what I felt, and learn what I learned. It is not always an easy journey, but there is a bit of Irish humor along the way for mirth and courage. I do hope you enjoy this adventure, and feel it is a tale worth telling.
