 | | Something I am always looking to find, and usually never do, is a way to return to that childhood sense of wonder and delight over something seemingly magical. | | | Sue Richards' concise tuning of "The Old Woman of the Milldust" had my toes tapping along in a happy rhythm, and wishing I'd taken those highland dance lessons. | | | The Song of the Selkie is a tale about Sandy, a selkie who loves music. |

| | That is, while the tales of Odin the Wanderer have a religious value to the Norse who wrote the stories, because it does not fit into a Christian configuration it is not "religious" per se. | | | UFO abduction narratives can be seen, in some sense, to refigure the tales of pre-Christian Europe, or even such tales in the Bible as the Ascent of Elijiah to Heaven in a spinning wheel. | | | The concept of folklore developed as part of the 19th century ideology of romantic nationalism, leading to the reshaping of oral traditions to serve modern ideological goals; only in the 20th century did ethnographers begin to attempt to record folklore objectively. |

| | Folktales: What are they? Types of tales |
| | Folktales, according to Carl Tomlinson and Carol Lynch-Brown's Essentials of Children's Literature are "stories that grow out of the lives and imaginations of the people, or folk." They are a form of traditional literature which began as an attempt to explain and understand the natural and spiritual world. | | | Tales of magic are the folktales which children commonly refer to as fairy tales. | | | Events follow each other logically in a pattern of cadence and repetition. |

| | Aesop - Factbites |
| | Aesop was a Greek folk hero who is supposed to have lived in the 6th century BC. | | | The rhetoricians and philosophers were accustomed to give the Fables of Aesop as an exercise to their scholars, not only inviting them to discuss the moral of the tale, but also to practice and to perfect themselves thereby in style and rules of grammar, by making for themselves new and various versions of the fables. | | | It remains to state, that prior to this publication of M. Mezeriac, the life of Aesop was from the pen of Maximus Planudes, a monk of Constantinople, who was sent on an embassy to Venice by the Byzantine Emperor Andronicus the elder, and who wrote in the early part of the fourteenth century. |
