Charles Dodgson —a maths prof who had a bad stutter—loved logic, wordplay, & syllogisms. In 1865, he put some of his favourite logic riddles into the mouth of the Caterpillar in that famous book he wrote, as Lewis Carroll. 📚💫#FolkloreThursday

An undine is a water nymph who gains a soul when she marries a human, but will die if he is unfaithful to her. A version of this myth was a popular C19th novella, wherein Undine returns to the water & her kiss kills her unfaithful husband. #FairyTaleTuesday Img: Rackham, 1909

There's a lot of Disney's Robin Hood in #Aesop's Fables... or perhaps it's the other way round...

"There were three ravens sat on a tree,
Downe a downe, hay downe, a downe,
They were as black as they might be."
"The Three Ravens" ballad
In a Scots ballad called "Twa Corbies", the Knight's luck is a little different 😈#FairyTaleTuesday

Over 500 versions of Cinderella have been found just in Europe alone! But, it's the French version by Charles Perrault that's the most popular, due to his fairy-godmother, pumpkin and glass slipper additions. J'adore this illustration by Arthur Rackham!

"Morning and evening
Maids heard the goblins cry:
'Come buy our orchard fruits,
Come buy, come buy:
Apples and quinces,
Lemons and oranges...'"
-Christina Rossetti, "Goblin Market"
