Welcome to Litsy!

A fun insight to different legends and myths around the world. Was definitely a fun read on a cold night 😃

This is the limit of what I'm prepared to do for #Halloween: felt pumpkins & mushrooms on a string, 1 book of vampire stories (Somadeva's Vetala Panchavimshati), 1 lovingly-drawn paper pumpkin to stick on the front door so that children know they can knock & ask for sweets. And that was enough for the curmudgeon in my life to roll his eyes... The seasonal fruit & veg are there... because they're in season 😁

Not a book but one of my favorite Spooky stories is that of La Llorona (the weeping woman). There are many versions of this story but they all center around the tale of a woman who drowned her children during a period of madness. When she realized what she'd done, she began to roam around crying for her children.

August 5 #BookBinge Stripes in Cover I think my grandson would love this book. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

If you are new to Dragonlance, make sure to read Dragons of Autumn Twilight first. There will be light spoilers if you read this before starting The Chronicles. You‘ll also appreciate the companions' tales more. I enjoyed each story and if you're a fan of the series, you will be sure to enjoy the side tales and extra lore.
