My Nearest and Dearest eHA Planet Friends and extended Family,
I'd like to share with you my recent discovery of a genius to Love, Admire and Just Adore.

His name is Andrew Lang.

Condensed Biogaphy of important facts for your reference:
Lang was the eldest of the eight children of John Lang, town clerk of Selkirk, and his wife, Jane Plenderleath Sellar, daughter of Patrick Sellar, factor to the first duke of Sutherland. As a journalist, poet, critic and historian, he soon made a reputation as one of the most able and versatile writers of the day.

Lang was one of the founders of "Psychical Research" and his other writings on anthropology include The Book of Dreams and Ghosts (1897), Magic and Religion (1901) and The Secret of the Totem (1905).

Lang is now chiefly known for his publications on folklore, mythology, and religion. The earliest of his publications is Custom and Myth (1884). In Myth, Ritual and Religion (1887) he explained the "irrational" elements of mythology as survivals from more primitive forms. Lang's Making of Religion was heavily influenced by the 18th century idea of the "noble savage": in it, he maintained the existence of high spiritual ideas among so-called "savage" races, drawing parallels with the contemporary interest in occult phenomena in England. His Blue Fairy Book (1889) was a beautifully produced and illustrated edition of fairy tales that has become a classic. This was followed by many other collections of fairy tales, collectively known as Andrew Lang's Fairy Books.

By a Divine Miracle of Nature, my Fairy Godmother from my favorite Andrew Lang's Brown Fairy Book has visited me today on the Moon. She dressed me in my best attire, applied some very carefully selected make up, put the Glass Slippers on my feet and a tiara on my head, and converted my Halloween Pumpkin into a Princess Carriage to take me for a visit of the Earth in search of my lost Enchanted Head - the secret to my Fairy Tale Happiness in Life.

I only have till the stroke of Midnight to make my way on to the eHA Bridge of Sighs to find this Amazing, Loved and Loving Enchanted Head. Shortly thereafter my Princess Carriage will turn back into a Halloween Pumpkin (later to be made into a soup), my high heeled Glass Slippers will fall off, and I will forever return to cook, clean and sweep Cinders off the surface of the Moon.

With that in mind, and also providing for my lack of spatial perception and very little time left to find this breathtakingly amazing Enchanted Head, would any of you, my kindest dearest friends, be able to direct me to the eHA Bridge of Sighs?

I thank you kindly for your help and will be happy to reward you with unlimited qantities of Ice Cream in return.

I will be ready and waiting in the Enchanted Fairy PMland until 00:03 (or 5:03 ATIC Lunar time), awaiting your directions.

Your Loving and Lovable,
Lady IcecreamMoon
PS. I could really use some help from my Lunar Brigadier here...
