Closing his ears to the Demon's Dirge, from Youth December (1904).  Also very much of interest: The Young Wizard's Hexopedia.

A witch hare from Walter de la Mare's Down Adown Derry, A Book of Fairy Poems, illustrated by Dorothy Lathrop (1922).

If we had to choose but one shop to carry our whimsical field guide to identifying unicorns by sound, it would be [now sadly out-of-business] Castle in the Air in Berkeley, California.  Imagine our delight to hear that folks had been "pawing through it, gleaning its wisdom."  [Thanks, Clint!]

Speaking of castles in the air, we spotted the immaterial tower below within the world of Google Maps.  This castle "exists" in the town of Warwick, England.  But get this: we spent so much quality time bi-locating to England that Google defaulted our browser to the U.K. version.  No kidding: we're automatically redirected to Google.co.uk, even when we explicitly type "google.com."  Can't make this stuff up.

The hippogriff gains the secret.  From The Floating Prince and Other Fairy Tales by Frank R. Stockton, 1930.

Poor Old Woman (to youth, who has given her a gratuity and relieved her of her load of wood):
"I PRESUME, MY KIND YOUNG FRIEND, THAT YOU ARE THE YOUNGEST OF THE THREE BROTHERS WHO ARE GOING OUT TO SEEK THEIR FORTUNES?"

Clever Youth: "NO, I'M THE ELDEST. BUT I'VE BEEN READING THE STORIES."
