@Setzeri Thank you! I always like to get permission first. There aren't many honest people left. People use my photos without permission a lot on Instagram, and I have to ask them to take them down.

@danidonovan A PDF of the entire planner! I received mine in the mail and, although I love it... it's HUGE! I developed ulnar neuropathy, so a PDF on my iPad would be easier to manage.

@DrFrancisYoung @CambridgeUP I haven't had the pleasure of reading this yet, but it's on my Kindle. I shall review it as soon as I resolve my ulner nerve issues.

[Dr Francis Young @DrFrancisYoung]

I'm pleased to learn that 'Twilight of the Godlings' is one of the standout bestsellers of @CambridgeUP's AIM (Academic Impact) programme, for 'books of such stature and significance that they make a lasting, even defining, impression on their fields' https://t.co/VJBwO8z88l

@sophieinspace @mv_castrillon @Usborne Oh! Definitely retweeting. Wish me luck!

[The Folklore Files @FolkloreFiles]

@lisagrimm Yes! I am currently reading this and love it.

[The Folklore Files @FolkloreFiles]

@lisagrimm @DrFrancisYoung Ooh! Where can I find this edition?

@BoardGameQuest @CbAlchemy I did an illuminated manuscript masterclass back in September at the @britishlibrary. I chose to draw and paint a replica of a dragon. I used what medieval scribes did. I wanted to replicate the effects with modern art materials. Result below. Mixed media. #FlamecraftPromoCard

@fablelore @BL_Learning Oh, what a shame.😦 Thank you for your reply, nonetheless. I do hope you offer similar long-distance courses in the future.

[The Folklore Files @FolkloreFiles]

@fablelore @BL_Learning P.S: I am an amatuer folklorist and creative writer.

[The Folklore Files @FolkloreFiles]

@fablelore @BL_Learning I am EXTREMELY interested in this and "Creative Writing Masterclass: Myths and Monsters," but am currently in the U.S. for medical issues and will not be back in the U.k. until May or June. Is there any way I can participate long-distance?

[The Folklore Files @FolkloreFiles]

@VaughnScribner @reaktionbooks I have it on Kindle, but it's on my list of most-wanted physical book copies!

In Welsh folklore, a child born on the first day the cuckoo sang would be lucky for all their life...

@thepaganrabbit I think we may have some on my mom's side, too.

[The Folklore Files @FolkloreFiles]

@thepaganrabbit Happy birthday (again), Ben! You don't look a day older than 30 :P.
