Scandinavian Midsummer Festival

The Nadavir Gang spent last weekend at the Scandinavian Midsummer Festival in Astoria, Oregon. Cricall loved chatting with a group of Icelandic horses, Tip enjoyed the traditional music and dances, Frigg learned to sail replicas of Viking ships, and Ping assisted with the raising of the Midsummer Maypole. Everyone enjoyed eating Pannukakku (Finnish pancakes), Swedish Meatballs, Norwegian Pork Sausage, and Danish Pastries.

Can't wait to see what adventures this little fortune teller will come up with! (Did you ever make one of these as a child?)

 

Just another reason I love fantasy!

GOOD FAERIES, BAD FAERIES

GOOD FAERIES, BAD FAERIES is such a delightful book from my fantasy bookshelf. Part of the fun is that half of the book is upside down! You can read it from the front (good faeries) or flip it over and read it from the back (bad faeries).

Written and illustrated by Brian Froud, who in addition to his many other fantasy books was the conceptual designer on two of Jim Henson's Films, THE DARK CRYSTAL and LABYRINTH, you will find descriptions of the good and evil residing in the fae world. Facts abound, and no detail is too minuscule to include!

Whether you like your faeries well-behaved or ranking high on the mischief scale, this book will fill you in on all of the delights and terrors of faeries! You can't say I didn't warn you,
