Well - in the course of being a #gamedev / #indiegamedev - I have been reading a lot of #fairytales and not all are widely available. So I'd like to do my part to make some of these grand old stories more widely available. People like #free #ebooks right?

A byse (or bysen) in Götland is the gnome like spirit of someone obsessed with possessions and who acquired them unjustly. They wander the forest chopping wood and obsessing over property boundaries.

Today we have the Life of Saint Guthlac, an 8th century hermit. Who amongst us hasn't wanted to get away from it all and live in a plundered barrow in an East Anglian swamp?

Looks like a nice place to rest your weary bones. Should this gravesite have some flavor text or an encounter with a ghost?

So what do we call this… half-cannibalism? Because I do believe the eldest kid means to eat those fish.

Agnodice is the legendary first female doctor and midwife of Athens who disguised herself as a man. When her gender was discovered, the women of the city came to her defense because of her skill. The law against female physicians was then revoked.

It is true that a #goblin can be Good, Neutral, or Evil. But no matter who you are, if your designer forgets to give you a neck? You’ll probably end up being evil.

The fairy queen has been trying to reach you about your beetle's extended warranty. #FolkyFriday #robocall
The horns of a staghorn beetle caused it to be linked with the devil and some people believed it arrived to ruin the corn harvest.
