Elf Culture: One with Nature

A Tribute to the Elves
(Part Two)

Today we continue our tale of the Elves.

Studio reporter addressing television audience:

"We are here today at the former Albanian Royal Library in Tirana, Albania.

Last time, we were fortunate to learn of Elves and their history from Dr. Samuel Bainbridge, a recognized expert in the study of ancient legends and languages, and currently classics professor emeritus at Misantium University.

Today, Dr. Bainbridge is arriving at the Library. The Library Director, Dr. Sibyl Unger, has extended an invitation to the Professor to study their collection of forest lore, one of the finest in the world.

History reserves then for special attention and proclamation, the designation Elf.

During holiday seasons, Elvin myths, if they be such, take on special significance; so much so that contemplative people everywhere find themselves wondering about the evidence in fact, if any, for the presence of Elves among us.

The following story is based on true events.

As recently as September of 2009, the Prism Association for Arcane Research (PAAR), awarded a grant to Dr. Samuel Bainbridge whose aim is to discover and describe to the extent possible the involvement of Elvin culture in the unfolding of human affairs, both past and present.

Dr. Bainbridge is a noted authority of Rosetta Stone scholarship, as well as the Nagamati documents. He is also an international expert of Sanskrit and Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Dr. Bainbridge was quoted in September, immediately after being notified of the PAAR grant, "There is reason to believe that a people generally fitting the description of Elves in popular literature have made their presence felt time after time in human history.....
