Thor is presented on the page here that is part of the University of Pittsburg’s Folklore and Mythology Electronic Texts presided over by retired professor D. L. Ashliman. Clicking through a few pages reveals that Professor Ashliman is clearly extremely knowledgeable in his speciality. In 2005 his book on Fairy Lore was published about elves, dwarfs, gnomes, trolls, mermaids, brownies, pixies, leprechauns, and many other beings found in world folklore. Somehow it makes me enjoy the Internet more to know the delightful folks of mythology can be found amoung the zeroes and ones of the digital world.
I hope it will not be long until these merry folk find their way on to mobile phones as mobile browsers are more welcoming to the open web. May Thor soon cast thunder through your ringtone! Literature
