A little meandering and skips over some key portions of the wider tale, but if that isn't exactly how your elderly uncle would retell their adventure then I don't know what is!
The idea that this is a translation of a text from another language, inclusive of explanations of language decisions made, is a fun way of injecting both humour and history into the tale - thoroughly enjoyed how grounded it felt from beginning to end
