The dog woke me up at 5:30 because she had to go outside so I have been up for a couple of hours. Took the time to finish Darling Girl by Liz Michalski. It is a Peter Pan retelling and I really despised the main character throughout the entire book. She redeems herself a bit by the end. Nothing spectacular, but it was entertaining which was what I needed.
Arthur Rackham (1867-1939), ‘At The Fairy Outfitters’, ‘Punch’s Almanak’, 1906

He would make a perfect Pope, fitting right in with the lies & fantasies of the Roman Catholic Church.

Deep in the roots of German folk tales lie forgotten initiation rituals and lost traditions. E.g., Rapunzel might actually be a reflection of ancient coming-of-age rituals. Learn how German folktales preserve elements of early human societies and shed light on some historical traditions, social structures, and cultural beliefs in this article by Waltraud Woeller.

In 2009 an enormous cache of collected folktales from the early anthropologist/story collector Franz Xaver Von Schonwerth were found in a municiple archive in Bavaria. In the 1850s he published a catalog of stories inspired by the Brothers Grimm but it was nothing compared to the size of his unpublished interviews and notes. This English translation just arrived at our house. #bookstodon #fairytales #storytelling
