Wild Fell: a wild life Warden's Experiences
The Norwegian fells are higher than the Lake District fells and they are richer florally than the British fells because intensive agriculture has not been practised there.

Snow White and Its Symbols
Your recently released wizzley on painteress Marianne Stokes includes her painting of Snow White in her glass coffin.

Wild Fell: a wild life Warden's Experiences
The first paragraph to your second subheading, The life of the Fells, links the English word fell with the Norse word fjell.
That subheading's fourth paragraph mentions a trip to southwest Norway because of the latter's geological resemblances ...

Harvest Bounty of Fall Fruits
My favorites are berries (especially cranberries), pears, pineapples, pomegranates and pumpkins.
Pumpkins always hold a special place because isn't it great that, even as actual fruit, they will work in fruit- and vegetable-style presentations, ...

Marianne Stokes
Online sources are chary with details about Marianne Stokes' family background.
Is nothing known about the Preindlsberger family? Is nothing known about Marianne's maternal family name?
It seems a bit odd that internet sources mention ...

Wild Fell: a wild life Warden's Experiences
Non-fiction books often surprise readers by their power. If well written by devoted explorers/travelers, they can provide immense inspiration. I also occasionally write an article about nature in one of our magazines.

Harvest Bounty of Fall Fruits
I believe it's an apple. I also love oranges but they are (in my country) more available in the winter.

The Promise
Good point, DerdriuMarriner. The authoritative (and positive) father is not so often in fairy tales, but we can still find a few examples (like in The Goose Girl). More often we deal with incompetent fathers, dying fathers, and especially absent ...

Squidoo review: What it is and why you should care
Hi, DerdriuMarriner. Squidoo is dead, but the business was sold to HubPages, their main (and actually only) competition (InfoBarrel and Zujava were comparably small sites with two- or even one-mean teams, today both just a part of web history). ...

Snow White and Its Symbols
Symbols 9 and 10, as shoes and iron, cause me to reflect upon punishment and its punishees and punishers.
England may not be one of the fairy tale-contributing settings for Snow White even as it might be relevant for its punishment meted to ...

Wild Fell: a wild life Warden's Experiences
Feuding noblemen make me think of something I read about the Wars of the Roses.
Some sources on this, western-pond side mention that war as the first on your, eastern-pond side to orient battle strategy against as many enemy leaders, instead of ...
