"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

― Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

#MermaidMonday: Undine

On my Patreon we combined our Monday appointment with water creatures and the ritual eBook after I get a rejection, making it free for everyone.

Undine, by Friedrich Heinrich Karl de la Motte Fouqué, is spooky, it has water creatures and it’s beautifully gothic in its themes of being human. Do we need more reasons? Its significance in popular culture cannot be overstated, and yet it remains a very little known work, not getting half the attention it deserves. I wrote a lengthy post about it here on the blog, and today I published an eBook with the original text.

Enjoy.

Fairytale Friday – The Mizgir

In the olden years, long long ago, with the spring-tide fair and the summer’s heat there came on the world distress and shame. For gnats and flies began to swarm, biting folks and letting their warm blood flow. Then the Spider appeared, the hero bold,
