“A picture from the fortress wall“ is a very short tale, just a little tiny morsel of a thing, about a prisoner who gets a glimpse of the beauty of the outside world and his heart is slightly changed by that moment. It's hard for me to say what this tale is about, but I have some theories.
What about you? What does this tale mean to you?

“The Pigs“ is a very simple, amusing little tale about appreciating the beauty of what's right in front of us instead of dwelling in the past. It's about the changing of the seasons, not just in terms of weather, but the seasons of life. How things change and how you can choose to focus on the negative or choose to see the beauty around you instead.

“The Puppet Showman“ is about the good old advice “Be careful what you wish for!“ A puppeteer tells the story of how someone helped him realize how miserable he would have been if his wish had come true. It also talks about the miracles we can find in every-day life.
What are some of the things in your daily life that make you feel a sense of wonder?

“Holger Danske“ isn't so much a tale per se but the exaltation of Danish history framed by a little story. We learn about the myth of Holger Danske, a man stuck in a cellar dreaming about the world, who'll come back out only when Denmark needs him.
Does your country/culture also have a story about a savior who'll return one day? I'd love to hear about it!

The Loveliest Rose in the World has a very disappointing ending so I ended up also discussing the rose in “The Little Prince“. And it got me thinking: if you were dying, what would be the rose in your life that could save you? Would it be just one? Or have you tended to a whole garden of flowers, each unique in its own way?

We start with a well-known timeless classic, “The Ugly Duckling“, where a swan's egg is hatched by a duck and the baby swan is then thought to be a very ugly duckling. It's a tale about how one's value can shift depending on the context and who we have around us.

Inspired by @TheBookHippie and her daily #CHILDRENSCLASSICREAD2024 I'm starting my own version: I read a tale from“The Complete Illustrated Works of Hans Christian Andersen“ every day. This has given me the motivation I needed to finally read through this monster of a book!And, to get back into the habit of writing again, I'm writing about each tale on my blog (link in bio). Feel free to join in with your favorite tales and the hashtag #ATaleADay

This weekend I walked a new-to-me trail which took me by a library with adorable reading statues out in front. Cute right? Well Sietje and my aunt‘s dog Wall-E (who you can see in the background) did not find them cute. They refused to pose with them, Sietje wouldn‘t go anywhere near this one, and Wall-E barked at them. Oh well, I enjoyed them. 😹🐶🤷‍♀️

Thank you @dabbe for creating this play~tag~share card.

I say my mom doesn't read, that's not fair, because she does, just not often. More often when my brother and I were kids, to teach us. These days, whenever. When my mom does read (nonfiction, history, maps, facts, etc.) she spends hours to days. The teacher-spirit in her still has her sharing everything she reads with me, if I'm in the room, that comes around to every 59seconds 😉👍.

👇.

AnnCrystal For me, nonfiction is rarely read. Nonetheless, I won't cheat 😂...Here are the nonfiction books that have actually managed to grab hold of me and that I have read all the way through.

1- Tagged (read years upon years ago).

2- Braiding Sweetgrass
Robin Wall Kimmerer.

3- Killers of the Flower Moon: An American Crime and the Birth of the FBI David Grann.
