So. It's been...a while! No promises about frequent posting or anything (maybe more frequent than every, uh, two years?) but I'm taking another stab at this place, I think. At least partly because I had a powerful urge to post some of this book's beautiful illustrations somewhere.

I read another 7 stories from this collection last week but didn‘t get a chance to post:

• The Draiglin‘ Hogney
• The Iron Wolf
• The Young Man who would have his Eyes Opened
• The Man-Whale
• Nya-nya Bulembu: or the Moss-Green Princess
• The Mermaid‘s Lake
• Kiviung

They have all been really interesting so far, but Nya-nya Bulembu is my favourite so far!

Read the first 4 stories from this yesterday:

• My lord bag of rice
• The blood-drawing ghost
• The demon‘s daughter
• The sobbing pine

Beautiful pictures in this! The stories have been interesting so far but not scary.
