What's your favorite fairy story? Tinker Bell was my first favorite from Peter Pan. I love the fairies in the Shirley Barber children's books. Magical.

"But I don’t want to go among mad people" Alice remarked
"Oh, you can’t help that" said the Cat "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad"
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice
"You must be" said the Cat "or you wouldn’t have come here"

Freyja’s visit to the dwarves has been depicted by many artists over the years. These examples by Greg Hildebrandt and Charles Brock could cause one to think that she was visiting in an epic Tolkien sort of way, or in sweet, innocent Disney-esque fashion. #FairyTaleTuesday
The roc, who appears in the voyages of Sindbad the Sailor and Middle Eastern folklore, is a gargantuan bird of prey. On his adventures, Sindbad rides the leg of a roc to a valley of massive serpents. #FairyTaleTuesday

#FairyTaleTuesday -Lamp Origins- 🧞
'The Fisherman and the Jinni' -from the Arabian Tales-
has a genie bound in a jar. When the jar is opened the genie comes out in a plume of smoke.
So, the concept of a genie bound to a household container does have a basis in Arabic myth.

Al-Khayzuran bint Atta (the "real" Scheherazade) had two sons: Caliphs Al-Hadi & Harun al-Rashid. The latter especially was a beloved leader & patron of the arts, guided by his shrewd mother. He even appears as a character in several stories in 1,001 Nights. #FairyTaleTuesday
“… he would have chosen some dream city of the Orient for his birthplace, a Persian princess for his mother, and an artist of the Ming Dynasty for his father”
