Wonder and Whimsy, Fables and Folklore: The Making of a Trickster

So many of the stories I loved as a kid, that live as strands within my narrative DNA, posited that the impossible could be around any corner. That gods watched us from the stars, that three-mast pirate carracks floated above hidden, legendary leviathans, that any mighty tree was but a part of Yggdrasil. I learned that sometimes, spider bites or lightning strikes could make you special, that anyone could be a hero, that sometimes pain could alchemize into purpose. I read stories of ants and grasshoppers, scorpions and frogs, and followed those animals to the cozy Abbey of Redwall, where the morals became more complicated but no less potent.
