For over sixty years, I have crept into the soul of the Fool. This traditional stock character in folklore is imbued with a certain sense of power, wisdom and magic. He can raise the dead as in the Saint George Mummers Plays, follows with authority as the last dancer in the Abbot's Bromley Horn Dance. He laughs, protects, projects warmth and kindness and mystery. These stories and poems based on fun, frivolity and sorrow, come from his bag of tricks.

Jerome is based in fact about a mystery man who was discovered in Sandy Cove, Nova Scotia on September 8th, 1863. It is believed by some that Jerome's name came to be because of the strange sound he uttered that sounded somewhat like "Jerum". Jerome was found in front of a rock that still exists on Sandy Cove Beach. He had no legs, and his stumps were bandaged. Some believe that a ship of unknown origin may have left him on the beach. Various families on and around Digby Neck cared for Jerome over the years. Jerome died on April 12th, 1912, and is buried in the Metaghan Cemetery Jerome's history as presented in this story is largely fiction.
