My son Dante started school during the week. We had a look at all our local, modern schools, but decided they weren't quite what was in order, so we've sent him back in time to a 19th century institute of education. By the look of him, Dante doesn't seem too worried. "This is the worst you can throw at me? Bring it on, fools. Bring. It. On!"

Dante might remain lost in the space-time continuum for the next several years, but thankfully for news-hungry Shansters everywhere, the Shanville Monthly is always bang on time and perfectly up to date.
