Artist is Nikolai Bogatov (1854-1935)

Yes. I worked for many years in the prison system. One song in particular, 'The Man', comes to mind.

You have got me thinking as always.

Thank you!

Cross-country skiing can be popular even in Unitedstatesian states that have ski slopes.

Is the sport practiced in the British Isles?

Thank you!

That's interesting how a philosopher integrates a deity into a philosophy-interpreted world.

Which might be closer to the Christian: the deist or the theist?

Thank you!

English Wikipedia has an article honoring the "Little black dress"! It interprets, among its famous-examples section, Édith Piaf as having "performed in a black sheath dress throughout her career: for this habit she was nicknamed 'little black sparrow'. It was thought that the dress helped audiences focus more on Piaf's singing and less on her appearance"!

Have you heard of the Unitedstatesian country singer Johnny Cash? He was known as the "man in black"!

Again many thanks for the black-and-white-and-more blogging link that led me to such a lively, lovely look at the fairy-tale author.

Additionally, the scarlet-flower cartoon may be the best cartoon ever, what with nice action -- apart insulting and kicking the feline sentient -- and nice colors and sound.

English Wikipedia mentions two filmed versions: "The Scarlet Flower (1952 film), Soviet animated film directed by Lev Atamanov and based on Aksakov's fairy tale" and "The Scarlet Flower (1977 film), Soviet live action film directed by Irina Povolotskaya and based on Aksakov's fairy tale."

Might you have seen the latter, live-action film?

Thank you for the customized creation!

The monarch colors are beautiful as are their positions, just like they arrange themselves on the oyal-fir trunks of forests associated with the Sierra Madre Mountains of northern and northwestern Mexico.

It would make a beautiful, long-sleeved t-shirt for your store product lines, wouldn't it?

Thank you for the web-archive link to black-and-white-and-more blogging.

The Aksakov article acts educationally entertaining, entertainingly educational. In particular, the family history with the Norwegian connection and the review designating the Aksakov-version differences fascinate me.

Who is the artist of all those lovely images?

Thank you for the anonymous-artist attribution to image 4. ???? after 2. Real London, before 3. Real Fitzwarren.

The cursor just sometimes does not get back timely from its break or its day-time lunch or its evening-time dinner ;-D!

Perhaps it will be timely now that I work it in Mozilla Firefox -- per your comment below, in answer to my previous question -- as you would ;-d.

No problem.

It's hard to say. If I should pick yes or no, I would be more inclined to no. I believe similar myths (both stories are backed by myths) were created independently in different areas of the world. But there are no documents to prove something like that.

No, don't know that.

Cursor works fine in my Mozilla Firefox. Your attribution is correct. ???? is a picture by unknown artist from the 19th century. Guildhall Chapel was rebuilt with Whittington's money and I think there's a stained glass window dedicated to him (Mayoral window).

Of course. The Kew system is humane and relaxedl
