  • A New Wonderland by L. Frank Baum, Fiction, Fantasy, Fairy Tales, Folk Tales, Legends & Mythology
    L. Frank Baum / LFRANK BAUM
    It is the nature of children to scorn realities, which crowd into their lives all too quickly with advancing years. Childhood is the time for fables, for dreams, for joy.

  • Some Chinese Ghosts by Lafcadio Hearn, Fiction, Classics, Fantasy, Fairy Tales, Folk Tales, Legends & Mythology

In preparing the legends I sought especially for weird beauty; and I could not forget this striking observation in Sir Walter Scott’s 'Essay on Imitations of the Ancient Ballad': 'The supernatural, though appealing to certain powerful emotions very widely a...
