Custard the dragon had big sharp teeth, And spikes on top of him and scales underneath, Mouth like a fireplace, chimney for a nose, And realio, trulio, daggers on his toes.

"'Tis the voice of the Lobster: I heard him declare
'You have baked me too brown, I must sugar my hair.'
As a duck with its eyelids, so he with his nose
Trims his belt and his buttons, and turns out his toes."

“I shall go into a hare, / With sorrow and sych and meickle care; / And I shall go in the Devil's name, / Ay while I come home again”.
The above chant from Isobel Gowdie is often used in #Folklore to highlight the ancient belief that women and hares are linked to the supernatural.

Greetings, dear Bibliophiles! Apologies for the recent absence. I’ve just committed to an adventurous project that will require a 3 month hiatus from #BookologyThursday. #BookChatWeekly resumes next week. Thank you for your understanding, and looking forward to seeing you here!
