"Most artistic of all continental weird tales is Undine (1814). In this story.. there is a delicate fineness of craftsmanship.. makes it notable in any department of literature & an easy naturalness which places it close to genuine folk-myth." -H.P. Lovecraft

Speaking of scary Inuit monsters, there is a wonderful, slightly scary, kids book, called The Shadows That Rush Past -A Collection fo Frightening Inuit Folktales" by Rachel A. Qitsualik, which folks might enjoy. It includes the giant NANURLUK (polar bear). #FolkloreThursday https://t.co/hxwHWlvIko

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”

Can't find the text but there is a version in which Rapunzel is taught all the arts (& given fine quality EVERYTHING - including a talking parrot) when tower-ified. In many versions she's either fairy-gifted with singing or naturally sings unnaturally-well too! #FolkloreThursday
