"Cereal is derived from the ancient Latin word 'cerealia' a major Roman festival to celebrate the goddess of agriculture- Ceres"

Just some food for thought during breakfast ?? Completely unrelated to my book of folktales though just as interesting. Do you read about local folklore? Is it something that interests you? I'm fascinated by it myself. #epicreads #booklover #folklore #bibliophile #ancientlatin #romanfestival

laurieluna Ooooh. Just looked this up on wordery and it's only £7.31 with free delivery for the hardback...I am so tempted 🙈 but I'm trying to be good! 7y
Sophoclessweetheart @miralunasbooknook It's a wonderful book. There's a folk tale from each area of England. They're fascinating. I also have another book from the series that is animal myths from the British isles. 😍😍 7y
laurieluna @TheOtherMother that doesn't help 😂 x 7y

Sophoclessweetheart @romireads it's so fascinating and beautiful Romi. I bet Dutch folktales are even better! 7y

Sophoclessweetheart @romireads I know the swedes have folktales about trolls which is marvellous and captivating. Please let me know what you find? 🖤 7y
