Come Away, Oh Mortal Child:
The SurLaLune Fairy Tale Site offers a wealth of resources for the volk-inclined. Illustrations beautiful and strange, thouroughly annotated versions of old favorites, and complete texts of works you are perhaps not so familiar with.
This is the most wonderful thing I've found on the internet for quite some time. I hope a few of you enjoy it as much as I have.

Anyone have news on beeswizzy? I misses him.

He seems to have disappeared with the waining population of honey bees. I'm sure many of us have tried emailing him but got no response. Someone once said that "beeeswacky is MonkeyFilter" and I think that was true. I do miss him, as well.

Fairy tales are not for kiddies. Violence, sex, rape, incest.... All the stuff that lies in the depths.
