Reader's Companion: for the Donkey and the Wall trilogy and The Curious Voyages of the Anna Virginia Saga

It was inevitable that a tale of such length would require some reference text to assist even a devoted reader in navigating the expanse of lineages, inventions, far-flung cultures, planets, etc. This Reader's Companion is intended to fill that niche. It is organized in such a way as to both be accessible and imminently informative, perhaps even adding omitted background and history for selected topics of pressing interest. Also included, as a way of showcasing their own efforts in genres other than technological advancement, are illustrations constructed from templates in the Selena Ships' Schoolrooms by the company's children---a staple activity for all students of every level from year to year---and poetry created by the more artistic of the families documented in the trilogy and the saga.
