Kangi Sapa, the storyteller Raven, never actually interacted with Pertelote & co. He is a modern-day bird, many generations removed from that of Chauntecleer and his animals.

One where he was able in insert himself as a feathered MartyStu into the legend and thus make himself a part of it.
It is interesting to note that whenever the character of Kangi Sapa was telling one of his own farfetched tales in ''Peace'', he suddenly would become the book's first-person narrator. No quotation marks around his speech. This did not happen with any other character but him.
Kangi probably had a lot to do with the rewriting of ''Sorrows'' into ''Lamentations'' as well.

''The Book of Sorrows'' is the longer and more detailed of the two versions, plus it was written and published first, so it stands to reason that ''Sorrows'' is the way events really occurred, while ''Lamentations'' is the hand-me-down legend, a result of GossipEvolution.

Fictional animals writing fan-fiction? In the world of Chauntecleer, it's not out of the realm of possibility.
Regrettably, the style of writing in ''Peace'' doesn't really match up with the skillful prose of ''The Book of the Dun Cow'' or ''The Book of Sorrows.'' It seems to have been hastily written and displays a severe lack of editing -- typos are rampant on nearly every page. There also a disturbing amount of gratuitous foul language, far worse than anything found in the prior books. In other words, it reads like a work of fan-fiction, especially in comparison to the first two books of the series. (''Lamentations'' suffers from this as well.)

Of course, this begs the question of "Well, if ''Lamentations'' is what ''Sorrows'' eventually evolved into, then how does that explain the events in ''Peace at the Last''? Which leads to the next entry...

[[WMG: ''The Book of Sorrows'' gives an account of what actually happened, while ''Lamentations'' is a result of the story being told and retold and handed down from one generation of animals to the next (and the next and the next...)]]
It's not possible for all of the events in both ''The Book of Sorrows'' and ''Lamentations'' to have occurred, since there are many instances of the two books contradicting each other. Yet each book basically follows the same plot. How to explain this? Which version should be considered the "correct" one?
