pameladlloyd: Alya, an original character by Ian L. Powell (Blodeudd)
While looking for fairy lore about handkerchiefs in response to this post by [livejournal.com profile] asakiyume, I came across the following story on the SurLaLune Fairy Tales website: The Three Daughters of King O'Hara. This story is from the book Myths and Folklore of Ireland by Jeremiah Curtin. I'd never come across this story before and was really delighted with it as it combines elements of a number of different fairytale motifs.

Yeah, that's right, this site is an advertisement for a book: Kandide the Secret of the Mists by Diana S. Zimmerman, the first in a series, which I found by clicking an advertising link at The Edge of the Forest, an online magazine about children's literature. It's got a fun flash animation, blurbs by fairytale and literary characters, lots of cool animated graphics, an online game, and more. I think this site is really cool and if I ever publish a book for kids I want whoever put this site together to put one together for my book.
