| abstract | - The official Bard's Tale: Tales of the Unknown Clue Book was written by T.L. Thomson for Electronic Arts in 1986. He was helped by John P. Manley and Maryrose Doherty, and the book was edited by Nicholas Lavroff. The book is presented as being the war diary of Lord Garrick, who, together with his band of adventurers, fought his way through the dungeons of Skara Brae right up to the uppermost level of Mangar's Tower. The narrative is introduced by an old man named Pellis. The clue book does not offer a complete solution of the game, but provides many useful hints as well as basic maps of all the dungeons. Traps, stairs and other important features, however, are not marked, so there is still enough left for the player to discover.
