I agree about wikipedia. I have found all sorts of great and obscure info on that site, and to tell you the truth if someone hadn't explained Lillith to me that's probably where I would have went.

I guess that's the point when a parent should tell their kids, "Hey, that was an interesting adaptation to the story. Would you like to hear how it really went?"

Sweet yes, but doesn't help my fantasy of finding the printed story somewhere and presenting it to him as a gift. Oh, well....

Thanks Melos. Somebody put up a new thread about Lillith too so now I know a little more. Isn't wikipedia cool? :)

The whole idea of women getting pregnant from sleeping men seems to be a pretty popular theme in mythology apparently.

Now there's a story I hadn't heard. I'm glad you posted this because in another thread I kept asking everyone to explain the history behind Lilith.

A fourth? Holey moley. That's some advanced planning. I guess you gotta go with what makes money, right?

I didn't even know there was a third one in the works. I liked the first one but didn't see the second. I consider Shrek more of a fairy tale parody than anything else.

fiannawolf, can you shed a little more light on this topic? Apparently I'm the only one here who isn't familiar with it.

My dad was into Hindu mythology, so we had all sorts of posters of those sorts of things around the house. So I would venture to guess that my geekdome exceeded yours!

Okay, that's a good point, Slashmire. For all I know maybe his granny made it all up and just pretended to read the book.

Okay guys, someone is going to need to explain the whole Lilith story to me because I have never heard of it.

Find Mine Too!! Another thread recently put up about finding fairy tales was a great idea, so here is one my husband talks about quite a bit but can't remember the name of it. I guess his grandma used to read it to him when he was younger. The story is of a boy named Jack (or something very...

I remember the drain in the swimming pool one. Man, did that one terrify me as a kid!

That's one story that I was never really exposed to as a kid. As far as I knew, Sinbad was that comedian.

That's true. There are some relatively new stories which can be fashioned into fairy tales with the right adjustments, I would imagine.

I don't know enough about it to form any sort of solid opinion. I would love to hear from some people who do believe it it though.

My daughter has always been drawn to the whole Dinsey Princess thing, even though she has never seen a single Disney movie. She just picks it up from seeing stuff in the store. Those Disney marketing guys are genuises.

I have never actually read anythign of C.S. Lewis but I have heard nothing but good things about him.

Oh, we did the light as a feather, stiff as a board thing quite a bit and were able to get it to work. Maybe its because it was like twenty of us huddled around a small eight year old.
