To my father,
Joseph L. Wagner,
who encouraged me to be whatever I wanted to be and worked ceaselessly
to give me opportunities to do so.
I have begun [this book] in such a way that all who see it,
read it, or hear it read may take delight and pleasure in it,
and that I may earn their regard.
—Jean Froissart, prologue to Chronicles
