With Thor, Heimdall and the giant Hyrrokkin pretending to be his family, Loki must record his deeds in a magical (slightly sarcastic) diary to prove he’s learning how to become more virtuous. It’s a bit of a work in progress. In this diary entry, Loki recounts three spectacular stories, including: 1) Triumphs (and failures) as Loki and Thor take on three tasks for Heimdall. 2) The Norse tale of Thor almost marrying a giant. 3) Loki as a robot.

You’ll find the mermaid of Zennor inside Zennor church. She fell in love with a human, but she was a Mer creature and so she couldn’t come to live with him up in the dry air.

Forest Folk Tales for Children

Many of the stories in this book seem at the same time both familiar and strange. Their authors valued family, duty, patience and heroism. They longed for children in their old age, and rejoiced when they saw cruelty and envy punished, wrongs righted, and kindness and bravery rewarded. These ideas are recognized the world over. What makes the stories different is partly the characters: the brave samurai, the evil wizards; the fantastical creatures – goblins, dragons, demons, fairies; the cunning talking animals – not only sparrows, badgers and rabbits, but crocodiles and jellyfish too. You may feel you know what is coming when the hero is told not, under any circumstance, to open the box – or when the doting father takes a second wife, a wicked stepmother. There is even one tale where the new wife sends a servant to take the daughter into the woods and dispose of her (sound familiar?). Though the ideas are tried and trusted, the journey is fresh and new. Not only because the heroes ride on paper cranes or tortoises that swim under the sea – but because the destination may not be what you expect. There is even more than one story where the wicked woman repents her evil ways and goes on to live a good and kind life.

Stinky's Stories #1: The Boy Who Cried Underpants!

Geoffrey Chaucer, born about 1340, was the first great English poet. The immense popularity of the Canterbury Tales is shown by the number of manuscript copies still in existence. It was one of the first books printed in England. The vividness with which the author describes scenes and events and people, as if he had them before his eyes, is one of his greatest charms as a writer. Those who know him best place him second only to Shakespeare as a writer of delightful English. The spelling of Chaucer's time differs so much from ours that the difficulty of reading it discourages a great many people. The few stories here given are retold in the language of to-day: The Old Woman and the Knight; Death and the Three Revellers; Patient Griselda.

Suspected to be written as a true-to-life fairy tale for Elizabeth von Arnim’s own children, ‘The Princess Priscilla's Fortnight’ tells the story of Princess Priscilla, a well-known German princess who has grown tired of her lavish and pampered lifestyle. Her mentor, Herr Fritzing, has been teaching her about the wide world outside the castle walls and Priscilla yearns to escape and explore it. ‘The Princess Priscilla's Fortnight’ will be enjoyed by fans of ‘The Princess Diaries’. Elizabeth von Arnim was an English novelist – a cousin of the New Zealand-born writer Katherine Mansfield – born as Mary Annette Beauchamp in Australia in 1866. She married a German aristocrat and her earliest written works are set in Germany. Von Arnim launched her career as a writer with her satirical and semi-autobiographical work ‘Elizabeth and Her German Garden’, published anonymously in 1898. Although she was known by the name May in her early life, when she began writing, her success as ‘Elizabeth’ meant that her writings were ascribed to the name Elizabeth von Arnim.
