The folklore of Hookland has every mist, every fog, as danger. Tales of it eating certainty, as a warping infection of the land. Stories of sentient fogs, of even a mist on the common providing a cloak for the Hoarse Hag to walk abroad. – Lou Kemp, Hookland artist, 1981

#FairyTaleTuesday One of our fave Yuletide/Midwinter legends is that of the Oak and Holly Kings - two seasonal spirits endlessly reborn and forced to rule, duel and die each year. 🖤

In Lapland mythology, the aurora borealis is said to be created when the Arctic fox’s tail sweeps shimmering snowflakes into the moonlight as it gallops across the snow-covered mountains.

The books we love when we're young are the ones that make us readers. They shape us at the deepest levels, and they stay with us forever. So whatever else you do - please never stop reading books with kids, and encouraging them to read. Please never stop changing lives! #literacy

Summer comes to the forest as green riot. A shouting of spirited voices each with unfolding delight on its lips. A thousand acts of solar alchemy, moments of awe. Those who talk of magic only as a shadowed thing forget the power of days when it surrounds you in its wild glory. – #EmilyCBanting
