Inside the tin, he kept a set of plump dwarf-like clay figurines, something like Snow White’s dwarves, but with grim faces and huge hats. I was very young at the time, and my grandfather didn’t let me handle them. Years after my grandparents passed away, I asked my father, aunts and uncle what had become of the figurines. They had no idea what I was talking about. The family believes the tin and its contents never existed, and I must have dreamt it all.
When I wanted to plot my story, this ‘mystery’ came to mind. Why did I have such a vivid memory of something that never happened? This question, and the ‘dream’ episode I described above, sparked the plot of Dawn of Purple and Gray.(less)

F is for Faun

Hello!

Half human, half goat, fauns carry an easy charm despite the horns, the hooves and their air of untamed wildness. Stories often paint fauns as playful, curious and a bit mischievous. Fauns aren’t bound by human rules, and they often don’t see a reason to follow them.

In Roman myth, fauns are linked to woodland spirits and to Faunus, a god who guarded flocks and whispered through trees. They e
