The Puddelbee Company
ABOUT
The Pseudonyms
 Jeremiah Puddlebee |
The name Puddelbee is a portmanteau of a deliberate mispronunciation of the word puzzle and bee,
originally meaning a social event for group activity and now a competitive quiz - as in Spelling Bee. It is also inspired by the name
of the fictional village in the children's books of Hugh Lofting.
The combination of the surname with the given name Jeremiah was chosen to give a deliberately old-fashioned sound,
and was also inspired by that of a character created by Beatrix Potter.
The image used for this character is from an engraving of Theophrastus von Hohenheim,
better known as the renaissance alchemist and doctor Paracelsus. |
 Rev. Huw Caerphilly |

 Kachu Gwirion |
I'm not sure what this name for this extravagant storyteller means, but it appears to be a Brythonic term of endearment .

The Proprietor
I am not a masked vigilante with a secret identity. I am, in fact, an easily-found retired professor, consultant and technology entrepreneur
with rather ecletic interests (including the invention of pseudonyms). As an expression of these other interests, The Puddelbee Company is
not well-aligned with my professional persona, but it is suited to the persona of Jeremiah Puddelbee.
