The Why of Superstitions by Harving King
A study of modern superstition traces the bank porter who cures warts by touching to the old royal practice of touching for the king's evil. It notes sunwise rubbing as a vestige of sun-worship and links this to European ritual beginning with Edward the Confessor and continuing into Queen Anne's era.

Etymology clash over Hulda Huldr the Nordic prophetess
Etymologists argue that Huldah the Old Testament prophetess and the Swedish Huldr may be one name in different forms. The old Hulda or Huldr is a white spinning figure who brings gifts at year end and punishes idleness, described with a long nose blue gown and white veil in a golden wagon. In Scandinavia Huldr is popular as the propitious figure. Germanic Hulda or Hilda variants cross into England and the U.S. with regional popularity noted. Amber and Ifildal gems are cited as protective talismans linked to Hulda.

Porto Bello Gold review places Howden Smith tale beside Treasure Island
A new costume novel by Howden Smith is hailed as an event of importance. Porto Bello Gold uses many Stevensonian pirates and episodes to craft a swashbuckling prequel set on the Spanish Main. The tale follows Captain Flint and Rip-Rap Murray as they buried treasure on Dead Man's Chest, with Darby McGraw supplying juvenile adventure and romance amid peril.

Pirate Slap Off the Hook Aboard the Bristol Packet
In the counting room I hear of the Bristol packet’s arrival and a pirate sighting off the Hook. Peter Corlaer, stout and loyal, and I, with Darby and the governor’s circle, move toward the square to meet my father and Captain Farraday, amid frontier tension and a Jacobite memory.
