From my husband’s aunt:
“Next Zoom book club challenge: 4 fictional guests to invite to dinner party: seating arrangements + menu. I am thinking: Merlin, Gandalf, Cinderella’s godmother & Mary Poppins. Pumpkin soup + strawberries with a spoonfull of sugar? Help?” (1)
I have to say, the Classical Trolls are a little too fluffy and to same-y, but the Country Trolls were spot-on!
From Reynard to the folksong “The Fox Went Out”, the fox is traditionally a “tricsy”, ambivalent creature. But how is it related to #Tolkien’s work, from Beowulf to (ahem!) Gollum? Find out in my @Tolkien2019 talk here: https://t.co/EDM2e2gMyu

For @MythologyMonday’s #eggs theme: in the Finnish Kalevala a duck lays 6 golden and 1 iron egg on the knees of the air goddess Ilmatar. From the eggs came the earth, the sky, the sun, the moon and the stars. 🦆🥚🌍🌞✨

What about you? @DrMaslen @zannedlyttle @keatsandchapman @hatii_matt
#Tolkien’s imagination was shaped by the #Kalevala. His 1st prose tale (interspersed with poetry) was a retelling of the story of Kullervo (published posthumously, ed. by V. Flieger), a figure who later inspired Túrin Turambar (art by @AlanLee11225760) @TolkienSociety
One of the favourite authors of my childhood has just died: Αλκή Ζέη (Alki Zei) was born in 1923, won multiple awards in Greece and was also shortlisted for the Hans Christian Andersen and the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award (3 times) #RIP

Dropping into the Medieval and Early Modern MLitt course today to do a session on Medievalism! There will be #Tolkien, there will be Chatterton, and there will be Umberto Eco!
